[Spaceships] Can't find the right propulsion system

Each rocket would provide 0.3G of thrust at that level.

This looks like the answer I was seeking.

But, yes, I'm making a lot of little SM+4 pods. But I see no reason I can't still do this. Right?

Yes, initially I designed the pods with antimatter thermal rockets. They were pretty perfect. Except for the spewing radioactive death thing.

Thanks, all.
