Description

Aye Beltalowda! The fusion powered drive designed by Solomon Epstein in ~2213 that changed everything. The Epstein Drive enabled the colonization of The Belt and Outer Planets as seen in the book and television series "The Expanse". This mod features 1x through 6x options for the Epstein Drive as seen on the MCRN Tachi, later known as the Rocinante.

This was made to be as scientifically accurate as possible, largely based on the analysis done by this blog post: http://toughsf.blogspot.com/2019/10/the-expanses-epstein-drive.html

This requires two new research projects; "Epstein Drive Reactor" and "Epstein Fusion Drive". The first one, Epstein Drive Reactor, requires researching Terrawatt Fusion Reactors and Applied Artificial Intelligence.

I am also working on more mods inspired by The Expanse, with eventually hope for as much of a total conversion as is possible.

For anyone using this mod, since it's looking abandoned. The reactor is "easy" to research but the drive has a very small chance per month so it don't shows in the project list. To solve that go the mod files (TIProjectTemplate.json) and change the lines around the "Project_EpsteinFusionDrive", the lines are:
------------------
"factionAvailableChance": 15,
"maxUnlockChance": 10,
-------------------
change the numbers to :

"factionAvailableChance": 100,
"maxUnlockChance": 100,

The chance will be 100% after that.

Suprisingly, the mod still works perfectly. You do need to use console commands to get the parts though. The UI icons are also broken. But it works perfectly in the solar map and in battle.

For some unknown reasons, the game just crash every time I entered late stage. I tried to uninstall/reinstall different mods and replay the game many times. I thought this drive mod would be the least possible mod to cause the crash so I never tried to disable it. In the end.... somehow I disabled this one and I could just keep playing from my latest save without jumping out.... I wonder whats going one, this is so weird.
