==================================
NASA IXS ENTERPRISE -NON-WARP SHIP 1.0 (Stock-KSP)
==================================
Original concept - Dr.Harold White
Designed by Mark Rademaker
Creating for Kerbal Space Program by Stevie_D

This pack contains only spacecraft parts to create the Kerbal version of the IXS class for endgame KSP-Interstellar.
This 1.0 version includes-
- Command Module
- Main Hull/Fusion Reactor.
- Alcubierre Particle Accelerator Rings/Xenon Fuel Tanks
- Quantum Vacuum/Xenon Hybrid Engine
- Crew Module
- Science Module
- IXS Communotron
- 2 Fuel Tanks (LFO and Karbonite)
- 6 IXS versions of science equipment (Gravioli Detector, Thermometer, Magnotometer, Gamma Ray Spectrometer, Science Junior, Karbonite Detector)
- 3 Spacedocks. Small, Medium and Large (The IXS version).

The Command and Science modules are TAC life support configured. The spacedocks are Extraplanetary Launchpads compatible, but neither of these are dependances. The only dependancies this mod requires are...

Dependancies :
Firespitter
(bundled with this pack, but always check you have the latest version by visiting the kerbal forums)


====STOCK KSP IXS CLASS CHANGES!=====

- All parts fit into the stock Research Tree

- Main Hull changes from an antimatter reactor to a Laser Ignited Fusion Reactor. Creating vast amounts of electricity that is required to power the QV Engine. Not a requirement to use the QV Engine, but makes trips with the QV engine much much easier.

- Antimatter Collector renamed to Xenon Gas Collector, and collects trace amounts of Xenon Gas along it's voyage. Takes an extremely long time to be effective.

- Quantum Vacuum Engine is now a QV/Xenon Gas Hyrbrid, and is designed as an endgame, powerful version of the ion drive. Even so, it runs out of gas on longer trips, BUT can be slowly replenished along the way if using a xenon collector (the rebranded Anti-matter collector). This makes it more like the actual idea of the Quantum Vacuum drive, ie - it becomes more fuel efficient the further you travel. 

- Alcubierre Rings are the most altered. Going from Warp Rings to Xenon Gas Particle Accelerators, pretending that whizzing the xenon particles around a lot before going into the engine would increase their efficiency. The rings hold both electric charge and large quantities of xenon gas.

- Larger amount of basic life support placed in the crew and science modules (since you wont be warping everywhere in a few hours/days)

- Karbonite science scanner remains as it is in IXS Class KSP-I version.

- Magnetometer instrument gives out the same science it does in Interstellar, although by a reduced amount due to the stock game research tree being smaller. 

- Gamma Ray Spectrometer now gives out science also, but again, at a reduced rate due to current stock KSP game balance.

- All other science pods, fuel tanks, and peripherals remain the same.

INSTALLATION
============

To install, place the GameData folder inside your Kerbal Space Program folder. If asked to overwrite files, do so. 

Please bring in any ships you made with the BETA, and delete your old KASA folders if you downloaded the Beta, otherwise your ships and their crews will be lost to the almighty Kraken!

*****As this pack bundles Firespitter, please make sure to check you always have the latest up-to-date version.*****
