Silly Photon Drives

Although they carry no mass, photons still have momentum. We can use this principle to build drives that use light itself as an exhaust. This is a small mod which adds engines that use electricity to produce light – a photon engine. This is different from a solar/photon sail, which uses light from produced from an external source to push on a sail. These engines produce their own light and throw it out the back like a typical rocket to push themselves forwards. The gimmick here is that these engines only take in electric charge as an input, they do not require any physical propellant. The downside however is that the thrust is so small it makes other electric engines look beefy in comparison.

Dependencies: Module Manager, B9 Part Switch (the mod won't work without these).

Recommendations: Waterfall (These engines do not have any stock plumes configured).
