I don't really know, to be honest. That being said, I do kind of want tessfield to update the original post with at least the 70 kW reactor I designed, and perhaps the Snickers Mk II reactor, which I upgraded via the use of a Tungsten-Osmium thermocouple and modifications to it's cooling system.

Give it a few days. Apophys will work on a better design

I spent some time min-maxing around nuclear warhead yield / cost ratios and optimized some warheads for 1kt, 5kt, 10kt, 50kt, 100kt, 500kt, 1Mt, 5Mt, and 9.64Mt. If you find any lower cost setups for these yields let me know. All designs: imgur.com/a/Y0LcQThe 9.64Mt:

All designs: imgur.com/a/Y0LcQThere may be some precision loss on the 10 kt yield design, going from the picture -- I think some of the values may be rounded by the interface, and I get the fusion fuel pressure stress error. Can you post the design files themselves?

Hiyall!! I'm about to go through everything that's been added lately and add it to the OP. That being said, this is hosted on GitHub, and approving Pull Requests IS a lot faster. I usually go over everything every week or so, but PRs I can just accept at any point during the day. It's in the same repo as the in progress engine sharing tool, under CDE.bbcode: github.com/Copperdust/CoaDE-Engine-Plot/blob/master/CDE.bbcodeAlso, anyone is free to use anything in the OP that requires my permission, continue/expand this thread/etc without needing to tell me. Just in case I die or stop updating this for whatever reason, no need for this to die with me ANYWAY. Onto updating things!

Quick note on turret armor, while silica does last longer than most materials against lasers, it has been heavily nerfed and doesn't last nearly as long as Aramid Fiber. Against that blue laser I had posted 1cm of Silica evaporates instantly at 250km where 1cm of Aramid lasts at least 10 seconds. EDIT: Did some quick tests again, this time with a stopwatch so its scientific. For three trials 1cm of Aramid Fiber lasted 17.42s, 17.44s, and 17.82s against the Blue Laser at 250km, with inaccuracies being ship movement and my reaction time to hit start. On the other hand for 3 trials of 1cm Silica Aerogel, it lasted 0 seconds 0.32 seconds, and 0 seconds. So big inaccuracies here as I didn't really have the time to hit start on my phone. Although I think against nuclear warheads Silica should still hold out better. Some other honorable mentions- Ceramic Oxide Composite at 11.47, 11.83, 13.58
- Nitrile Rubber at 6, 5.25, 6.69
- Hafnia and Hafnium Carbide for their pretty purple sparks.
Trying to recreate Ceramic Oxide Composite's success with other cheaper Ceramic Oxides (Hafnia, Alluminum Oxide, Beryllium Oxide, etc.) was unsuccessful.

Right, tessfield and apophys , hold on to your butts. Here comes a whole bunch of reactors that apophys designed which I optimised to the best of my ability, including a 40.2 GW design that is a major upgrade for basically any boat using his older Tungsten-Tantalum thermocouple equipped 40 GW reactor, mostly due to the savings of almost 50 Mc in terms of cost and almost 19 kt in terms of weight. If apophys wants me to change the name of any of these reactors, I will be happy to do so. He has clearly demonstrated that he is better at the reactor optimization game than me.

I posted this a little while ago in the unlimited power thread but I figured it would be nice to have on the standardization thread as well. It is the most optimal radiator composition for each outlet temp range.
Lithium: 0K - 452k (59.1 tons / 100,000m^2 239,000c / 100,000m^2) Calcium: 425k - 1110k (172 tons / 100,000m^2 1,000,000c / 100,000m^2) RCC: 1110k-2270k (194 tons / 100,000m^2 14,700,000c / 100,000m^2) Boron: 2270k - 2348k (230 tons / 100,000m^2 4,000,000c / 100,000m^2) Boron Nitrade: 2349k - 3244k (233 tons / 100,000m^2 4,890,000c / 100,000m^2) Amorphus Carbon: 3245k - 3913k (233 tons / 100,000m^2 5,200,000c / 100,000m^2) Pyrolitic Carbon: 3913-3920k (249 tons / 100,000m^2 5,580,000c / 100,000m^2) Halfnium Carbide 3920k - 4158k (1,410 tons / 100,000m^2 86,800,000c / 100,000m^2) Tantalum Halfnium Carbide: 4158k-4486k (1,620 tons / 100,000m^2 282,000,000 / 100,000m^2)
RCC is the only one off in terms of costing more than the next step up all the others are in line of higher mass / cost for each step up.

Amorphus Carbon: 2348k - 3913k (233 tons / 100,000m^2 5,200,000c / 100,000m^2) Boron Nitride should be cheaper than Amorphous Carbon at the same weight. 233 tons 4,890,000c @ 100,000m^2 Only good to 3246K however.
