Hey guys, just had a quick question. Why do all probes/satellites (particularly early ones) seperate from the final stage of their carrier rocket once they reach the proper trajectory/orbit? And, is do any of those reasons matter in KSP? I've always done it, but I have no idea why. I guess just because that's what I've always seen them do. In early career though, when trying to save every buck per launch, why ever bother? Those TR-18A stack decouplers are $400 each, which I could spend on another RT-10 instead = more dV/$. Does everybody do integrated upper stages and I'm just late to the party? I'm also talking about stock here, but what about RSS/RO? Does that change the equation a lot? Thanks!

Hey there, I am looking for an upper stage parts pack, which would allow me to make something like the proposed Exploration Upper Stage or something along those lines. Maybe I have missed a mod or so, but I think apart from SSTU, which is quite WIP still and the Talisar upper stage, which is part of CMES, there is no independent (and recent) heavy upper stage model out there, isn't it? Regards and thanks, Sebastian
