#Ship Designer should display actual engine thrust in addition to TWR and dV

I've noticed that deviating from equalized fuel/oxidizer sliders (which matches the stoichiometric ratio of oxidizer to propellant) allows for certain optimizations of dV due to reduced mass, but it does not directly show how changes in the thermal behaviour of the engine are affecting thrust. It should.

Interesting, thanks for noting. Currently engine still consumes fuel/oxidizer in stecheometric ratio (actually in optimal ratio for h2/kerosene), even if tanks contains less or more one or antorher, so the themal behaviour is the same. However fuel have temperature too and amount of fuel or oxidizer affects the temperature of fuel tanks (and adjusent engines to via conduction). Non-stecheometric fuel consumption is planned in a far future.

@empty kite Seemed to be under the impression that this was already modelled. If it isn't, then there's no need for this feature until it is.
