Part Naming - KSP-RO/RealismOverhaul GitHub Wiki

Naming guide for new RO parts.

this page is a WIP, based of discussions in #RO, most parts do not as yet follow the scheme described here.

Rocket Engines

  • title - this should simply be the name/designation of the engine, followed by "Series" if it's a part for a number of similar engines. If it is not a Series part, the full designation should be used, i.e. LR91 Series if the LR91 series, or LR91-AJ-3 if it is only that model.
  • manufacturer - this should be the name of the real life manufacturer of the engine.
  • description - There will be a prefacing line (followed by a newline) in the description, covering the intended pressure regime and the time period and time-period-relative TWR. after this there should be a general sentence or two describing the engine and it's use. description should also say the minimum stage diameter [at the end?],when applicable.

###Example

%title = RL10 Series
%manufacturer = Pratt & Whitney
%description = 1960s to present, low-medium TWR, vacuum use, min stage diameter 1.5m\n
    .Hydrolox restartable expander-cycle vacuum engine used in countless applications.
 	Most famous applications include the Centaur upper stage, the S-IV upper stage of the original 
 	Saturn I launcher, and the new Delta Cryogenic Second Stage. 
 	The RL10 uses liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen (so beware of boiloff); it has very low thrust, but 
 	very high specific impulse, and is designed for beyond-Low-Earth-Orbit applications like launching 
 	satellites to geostationary transfer orbits or to the Moon or other planets. 
	However, like all cryogenic engines, boiloff is a serious issue without heat pumps or radiators.

or

%title = RD-0120
%manufacturer = KB Khimavtomatika
%description = 1980s medium TWR, atmospheric and vacuum use. min stage diameter 2.4m\n
    The RD-0120 is a fuel-rich staged combustion engine developed to power the core stage of the Energia launcher.
