Patch 0.26.0

March 13th 2024
Cosmoteer update 0.26.0 is now available!

This update adds the Modular Rocket Thruster (M.R.T.), a new modular thruster that is constructed out of multiple individual parts, similar to the Railgun. The M.R.T. consists of three different modular parts:

• Rocket Nozzle: Like the Railgun Launcher, this goes on the outside of your ship pointing in the direction of thrust. By itself it has the same thrust as a Huge Thruster, but it can also be extended with the...
• Rocket Extender: These go directly behind the Nozzle or another Extender and are analogous to Railgun Accelerators. Each one increases the thrust by +100%, as well as increasing power usage and ramp-up time. (Note that there is no "end module" equivalent of the Railgun Loader.) Unlike Railgun Accelerators, if an Extender (or even the Nozzle itself) runs out of power, the thruster as a whole will continue to function but without that individual extender's contribution.
• Rocket Fuel Pod: Unlike normal thrusters, both the Nozzle and Extender have very limited battery capacity (only 2 batteries each), so they'll run out of power very quickly. But you can add up to two Fuel Pods attached to the sides of each Nozzle or Extender to provide +4 batteries per Fuel Pod.

By allowing more of a ship's total thruster power to be housed within the ship's interior, these new M.R.T.s should significantly increase the variety of viable ship shapes and designs.

Have fun!
