<div>== Bug? ==<br />
<br />
Hey, can somebody explain what [http://wiki.kerbalspaceprogram.com/w/index.php?title=LV-N_Atomic_Rocket_Engine&diff=14139&oldid=14049 this edit] means? According to the part data, the efficiency is in vacuum almost 4 times better. — [[User:XZise|xZise]] <small valign="middle">&#91;[[User talk:XZise|talk]]&#93;</small> 05:43, 20 April 2013 (CDT)<br />
:I think he means it provides less output, but by my math that shouldn't be the case either. It may consume less fuel, but not so much less fuel that it is providing less total thrust --[[User:Ruedii|Ruedii]] ([[User talk:Ruedii|talk]]) 18:19, 2 May 2013 (CDT)<br />
::What do you mean with “output”? Thrust, fuel flow or specific impulse? And all engines are consuming less fuel in space. By this mechanism KSP increase the efficiency in vacuum as the thrust is fixed. I guess I post on the author's discussion page to inform the author. — [[User:XZise|xZise]] <small valign="middle">&#91;[[User talk:XZise|talk]]&#93;</small> 04:46, 3 May 2013 (CDT)<br />
:::I found the actual bug -- displayed fuel consumption when right clicking on the engine is in tonnes/s, rather than the Units/s that it says. This may be confusing, since earlier versions of KSP showed it in Units/s. [[User:UmbralRaptor|UmbralRaptor]] ([[User talk:UmbralRaptor|talk]]) 20:53, 3 May 2013 (CDT)<br />
::::Okay I did some testing and it seems that this isn't engine specific. The [[LV-909 Liquid Fuel Engine|LV-909]] for example has a fuel Consumption of 0.01689 U/s which shows me a little lower fuel consumption than the specifications. Doing the same math on the LV-N (0.0267 U/s = 26.7 kg/s) I can confirm the specifications again. So as you said U is simply 1 000&nbsp;kg and nothing quirky/buggy about the engine. — [[User:XZise|xZise]] <small valign="middle">&#91;[[User talk:XZise|talk]]&#93;</small> 09:31, 6 May 2013 (CDT)<br />

I clarify what this means. (I posted this)<br />
When I was playing KSP I had a LV-N in orbit,and guess what? Not efficient.<br />
The fix for this is just to restart the game. -BigBoy</div>Bigboyhttps://wiki.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?title=LV-N_%22Nerv%22_Atomic_Rocket_Motor&diff=14139LV-N "Nerv" Atomic Rocket Motor2013-04-20T00:24:01Z<p>Bigboy: /* Usage */</p>

The '''LV-N Atomic Rocket Motor''' is a low-thrust, high-efficiency rocket engine which is powered by liquid fuel and oxidizer as of 0.18.1. This will likely change to a more realistic fuel source in later versions.<br />
<br />
== Usage ==<br />
*The LV-N provides less thrust than almost every other liquid fuel engine (the [[LV-909 Liquid Fuel Engine|LV-909]] being the main engine with less power). However, it has a vacuum ISP of 800 s, the best in the game of any liquid-fueled engine (only the [[PB-Ion Electric Propulsion System|ion engine is higher]]). This remarkable efficiency makes it quite popular for transfer and injection stages, where high thrust is unneeded and no atmospheres are present.<br />
<br />
== Bugs ==<br />
<br />
List:<br />
One bug is where the nuclear engine apparently is less efficent in vaccum.<br />

|Despite the big scary trefoil painted onto the side of this engine, its radioactive exhaust, and tendency to overheat, the LV-N Atomic Rocket Motor is harmless. Mostly.<br />

{{Quote|Yes, I know this is wrong. NTRs don't actually burn fuel and oxidizer, but we don't want to jump into making separate tanks for the two yet.|Excerpt from the part.cfg}}<br />
