I tried an alternate design in the VAB with two reactors and engines which did help with the TWR of the craft but not enough to offset the hit to the available deltaV. Overall I’m pretty disappointed with the VASIMR engine on the ship. Docking turned out to be easier than I expected but was quite slow. A 10 minute burn to leave Tylo, a 6 minute burn to match inclination with Bop’s orbit and get an intercept, and a final 6 minute burn to get into orbit around Bop. It took about two hours of real time and required three burns. Over the weekend I returned to my Jool exploration mission and got the Explorer transferred from Tylo to Bop.
