You can still get ridiculous hellburns. Even with a badly balanced engine I managed to get 500+TW thanks to a 90 minute round. I'll be honest, I'm pretty happy that it's still possible -- but I'll roll with whatever happens.
The cold loop is double-extra robust now. It can hold up a lot longer thanks to it's length and naturally lower pressure. Add in the pressure tank and freezer and it holds up for maybe too long depending on what yer doin. The hot loop is a lot more robust too. There's a yo-yo effect with the pressure tank open, but that's par for the course. One thing that kinda shocked me is the smooth transition between burn-fuel tanks; I barely lost any output. Granted, in a normal round you won't really have the chance for two tanks, but it's really nice when you do. I used to lose tons of output (over 50%), so only losing ~5% is kinda shocking.
I'd say this engine actually has the capacity to get even higher hellburns than cog1 with less nuisance to the station, given you can go around without braving a catwalk. It's just a puzzle that needs to be figured out.
