Rocket-only SSTO - TYLO/LAYTHE CAPABLE! >4800 m/s DV, includes parachutes, monoprop, OKTO2, Dock Jr.

[Musicrafter]

WORKS IN LATEST VERSION, 1.0.4! Sadly this SSTO won't work on Kerbin unless you empty some of the fuel tanks (atmospheric TWR only 0.8, but vacuum 1.27). Designed it for a Grand Tour ship.

No pictures yet because I haven't taken any.

Dude, take some pictures. I assume you haven't flown it to laythe and tylo yet?

You will find on the forum that people wont download it unless you show them what you have. Do you use steam?

[Musicrafter]

No pictures. The math says it ought to work, but I've not taken it there yet. I probably should.. and I was too lazy to take pictures.

Might do that. I'll fly a ship [actually 2 ships] to Jool and test it.

Even if your ship is the greatest ship of all KSP, and will solve all of humanity's problems, if you have no pics nobody will download it.

Nobody.

TL;DR:

No pics no clicks.

Here is a picture

, dude it will work everywhere except Eve, Kerbin, Laythe and Tylo. Not really universal, but not bad. You might make it on Laythe but only because you have so much dV (4900m/s) you can afford to cruise slowly to orbit. Not enough TWR for Eve obviously. It's not really aerodynamic enough for going fast in atmosphere so Kerbin is out and maybe Laythe as well. On paper it will do Tylo, in real life probably not, the craft below, much simpler with 5300m/s dV will just about make it from 80km and back to 80km on Tylo, I would top it off with another 100 tank just to get it above 5400m/s dV. On paper you can do it with less, but not many people can do really efficient suicide burns.
