![]()  I'm not rightly sure how I did this, but it's the highest exhaust velocity rocket in my catalog and it's powered by a fairly small amount of depleted Uranium. I guess it's for civilian ships that can't get clearance for highly enriched plutonium? |

That thrust:mass ratio is horrible. I'm pretty sure U-233 dioxide would make it better.

Ok, you could have potentially found something awesome here, your fuel ratio is trash but that thing has potential considering it's burning mg of fuel vs the normal 100kg/s

I would suggest upping enrichment to maximum (97%). If I remember correctly, enrichment doesn't change the price of depleted uranium.
Which begs the question, what the hell does enrichment even means for depleted uranium? Should low-enrichment depleted uranium be more expensive because it has been extra-depleted? Should there be a cheaper unrefined "natural uranium"? Is that what depleted uranium is?

I'm pretty sure depleted uranium is U-238. Enrichment should have no effect for both DU and DU dioxide, any effect would have to be a bug.
