Barebottom rockets

[Rocketeer]

Try to get orbit or fastest possible with a rocket that has no modules directly attached to the bottom of the capsule.

Hint: you can stick radial couplers to SAS

i've been fiddling with this for a couple days, it's actually kind of fun.

the biggest problem is the staging gets all fucked up. and sometimes, no matter how you rearrange things in the stages, rockets will still go off when they're not supposed to.

i'll post some screenies if i manage to accomplish anything other than just getting off the pad

The current experimental build v0.9x1 has a much better staging mechanic, you might want to give that a try.

Arrr!

thanks for the advice, i tried that out.

and yeah, this whole challenge works better in 0.9x1 really. especially with the connecting struts. makes for fewer rocket octopus disasters
