Preamble by `GagaX`

This is standalone expansion to my Rusty Star Rockets mod. It adds parts for new propulsion system: ZPE (Zero Point Energy) propulsion system

It also adds new fuel resource: Quantum Fluctuations.

ZPE propulsion system works like this:

Quantum Fluctuations are generated in Quantum Fluctuations Extractor (QFE)

Quantum Fluctuations are stored in Uncertainty Containment Chamber (UCC)

ZPE engine uses Quantum Fluctuations and electricity to create thrust.

Since Quantum fluctuations are generated constantly by QFE, this is sort of infinite fuel mod, but it is somewhat justified by ZPE propulsion concept. Nevertheless, i wouldn't dare call this mod near future or even very realistic.

But it could be fun. :) Especially because of funky particle effects and custom engine sounds.

All parts are on the very top of tech tree, on additional experimental nodes, and are VERY expensive.
