Increase Factor and Decrease Factor buttons increase and decrease warp factor. That's current Interstellar mechanics that I kept with this mod. So YES, warping lower than C requires more EM. You may think about warp factors as electron energy levels in atom, the "lowest" energy level is ONE C, that level requires minimal EM to initiate warp, all other factors will cost more and more. The lesser the mass, the less EM is required to warp.ĭrives Efficiency - anothe abstract value that shows overall warp efficiency of your vessel. The higher the factor the lesser EM requirements. Can also be improved with installing more than one WD on your vessel. Can be improved by unlocking new technologies (this part needs to be reviewed as current release may have bugs). Maximum Required EM - amount of EM required to warp with maximum allowed factor.Ĭurrent Drives Power - abstract value that affects EM requirements. Minimal Required EM - minimal amount of EM required to initiate warp for the current vessel.Ĭurrent Requred EM - amount of EM required to initiate warp with the current warp factor (see below) Maximum Speed Factor - max allowed warp speed according to gravity well restriction. Speed Restricted by G - ultimate speed limit of your warp, your warp speed will be dropped automatically as soon as you go deeper into gravity well, so beware, especially when approaching gas giants, as you may end up in sub orbital trajectory without enough EM to initiate escape jump.Ĭurrent Speed Factor - currently selected warp speed, measured in fractions of C. Such mechanics makes using warp drive not a piece of cake, but who said that travelling to the stars will be easy?Ĭurrent Gravity Force - shows how deep you're in gravity well, the stronger the force, the lesser the speed you can warp with. If you initiate warp containment field becomes self sufficient, so no EC will be consumed, but EM won't be produced either. 100EC/s is not big deal if you use something like NFE, but really hard to achieve in stock, so I think it's a good value. Once activated containment field consumes 100EC/s and generates 0.01 EM/s. To activate containment field you need current power production 100 EC/s.
So you need "Containment Field" to accumulate and store it.
Here's the intermediate solution: ISWD standalone - almost the same mechanics as in Interstellar, but in vanilla KSP. USI Warp Drive is pretty cool, but does not allow you to time warp. Interstellar is cool, but pretty complex mod.
