This is the lifter you've been looking for.

Caution, it is a framerate hog, with almost 1500 parts without a payload, this means that (at least on my computer) the first couple stages are a no-go for physics warp. The file I linked here includes a 7 Jumbo tank with asparagus style staging. With that payload it has a whopping 4838 atmo and 5701 vacuum delta-v, you can get the 252T payload to an orbit of 620km without touching the fuel in the payload. It has flight controls (RCS and SAS*6), 6k Battery life and 6 RTG's to keep you powered up until forever. It's also so stable I just launch it from the platform, no Launch Stability Enhancers. Some of the strutting could be prettier, but that's as nice as I'm making it tonight. The center booster is set to 25% thrust limit and has its own RCS pack because it has a tendency to flail about when it pushes that big of a load by itself. The Mainsails are separated from the tanks by an octagonal strut to allow them to cool properly, meaning you never have to reduce thrust on any of the other engines. The vertical I-Beams can be removed, though I like to use them for stability of payload.

Read my post here: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/75876-Small-Multi-Purpose-Probes-With-Compact-Probe-Launch-Module-%28Ultra-Low-Part-Count%21%29

They are ultra low part count probes that can travel great distances with RCS (Ion added more weight and was slower). The craft files comes complete with 8 of each version of probe on a highly SAS controlled launch module (launch module is and example of how to use them on spacecraft.)

Starchaser Orion Mk.II (Moho Edition)

After conquering the moons of Kerbin, the KSA desired to stride deeper into space, but none of their current spaceships were capable of landing on a body larger than the moon. Designed to enable a crew of up to 6 Kerbals explore the far reaches of the Solar System for years at a time, with the potential to stop at multiple planets along the way, this huge ship was their solution to the problem.

Too big for a conventional launch, Orion was constructed on-orbit from three different launch vehicles;

1. Orion Return & Propulsion Module

2. Orion Lander & Habitation Module

3. Orion Replacement Lander + Fuel (The replacement lander was sent up to replace a fault on the original lander, which has since been fixed, so unless you knock something during assembly, you can remove this)

4. (Optional) Nano Moon Lander (provides a 2-seat moon lander with Dv~2km/s, plus 2 atmospheric probes for deployment in places the lander cannot land and return from (eg Eve, Jool)

From the beginning, Orion was designed to be modular, allowing a wide variety of module combinations.

Need more fuel? Add another fuel module!

Barebones mission? Ditch the habitation module, any extra crew can sit in the 4 external seats (provided)!

(Handy Infographic? you got it!)

Action Groups

1 - toggle all solar panels on the vessel

2 - toggle all floodlights/landing lights

3 - toggle all ship illuminating lights (excluding floodlights)

Included Lander

Bundled with the ship is a very capable lander:

-Up to 3 crew

-Dv~2+km/s

-TWR on Kerbin = 0.96 when full

-Drogue 'chute allows almost powerless landing on celestial bodies with an atmosphere (In this example, Duna)

-Scientific detectors onboard

-Single stage so completely re-usable

The Delta-v of the lander can be increased to 3km/s by docking to the additional rockomax fuel tank (provided) to allow landing on larger celestial bodies, or those without an atmosphere (in this example, Moho)

As a test run, Orion was sent to Duna with 6 crew; 3 landed on the surface in the lander (see above), 2 took the Moon lander to land on Ike (below) and 1 stayed in the mothership (below). After all crew successfully returned and ships re-docked, she still had Dv~8km/s to spare.

Things to note:

1. when a second jumbo fuel tank is added to the stack, when firing the Kerbin Departure stage, a large wobble appears. However, nothing broke so I think its okay.

2. When using the nuclear engines, remember; its top acceleration is 2m/s, so expect loooong burn times. As an example, when entering the Moho SOI, the burn time is about 30 minutes to achieve orbit!

Overall a very capable ship, hope you enjoy.

EDIT: Current .craft files have Mechjeb on them! I'll try and sort this out by the end of the day, but for now this won't work on a clean install :(

what is the description code?!?!?

Dude you probably won't get an answer to your question considering the person you are quoting hasn't logged on the forums since December 2013.

@ any Moderator:

Should probably lock this since it has been replace by a new repository earlier this year.
