"If you want to keep hitting above 3MW, by 30-40 minutes into the round you can take two roads..."
If you are trying to hit above 3MW, you are already way, way past the standard operating window for the engine. I've told you this a whole bunch of times already, but burning plasma and oxygen in the lines is done at your own risk and it's supposed to require a lot more babysitting and maintenance. CO2 buildup is an intentional problem and dealing with it is intentionally part of the work for running a crazy fire inside the pipes. Nobody says you have to burn plasma and oxygen together in there, it is by no means a safe or easy way to run the engine. You're pretty much abusing the hell out of the machine and pipes so you can brag about the wattage number you get. Having to shut the engine down once or twice per round to clean up after your messy dangerous setup is pretty much fine with me.
That said, I'll put a pair of aux ports under the engine for a couple days. Lemme know how they work out, I'm too tired to really test them all that much right now. I'm pretty much only doing it so I can laugh when someone screws up and causes a BLEVE rupture inside the engine core with those.
