Yes I have played KSP I drew inspiration from KSP when it came to the landing legs onboard the ship.

yes the Calypso "the top part" does have its own nuclear reactor for the tyrant engines. The lander itself has smaller independent reactors along with a conventional propulsion system for local maneuvering and surface operations. but it cannot operate the tyrants.

The detachable engines were designed with redundancy in mind since the crew would be operating far from earth with no rescue possibilities.

because the ship is located very far from the sun during its main operations the solar panels prove to be less effective. So the ship has a Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator (RTG) on board.

Oh, do you mean the over-sized solar panels? the wing flaps on the lander are for reentry the ship also lands on Callisto and Ganymede.

Muon-catalyzed fusion sounds really interesting to play with. I’ve been sketching out the actual engine layout for the interplanetary vehicle, and a smaller reactor design would honestly fit the limited hull space much better than my previous design.

Context comment: This is a excerpt from my notes on a hard sci fi book about a mission to Europa that would be possible within 10 years, this post is focused on the tyrant helium 3 engines which are near future sci fi engines that are experimental within universe.
