So what's the current non-nuke rocket record?

Awesome, http://www.filedropper.com/missingsomething

How do I upload the craft file? In the mean time, the decouplers were actually TR-V2s mounted to octagonal struts. Also, everything was stitched together using advanced tweakables auto-strut with rigid attachment enabled to improve rigidity.

New record: 28.407% So freaking hard.

This seems unclear. The rule seems to allow RCS to raise the Pe to the requisite orbit. What parts are and are not allowed? Are batteries , solar panels, or RTGs allowed? Are reaction wheels allowed? What about Probe bodies? Nose cones / fairings? Control fins? Passive fins? If a probe body is allowed, then what about using said probe body's reaction wheels to provide torque? Personally, I would clarify by prohibiting everything but unused fuel tanks, passive aerodynamics / fairings, and decouplers, and one probe body (KER gets weird if you don't allow this).

Booyah, 27.336% https://imgur.com/a/bu28F I livestreamed this too, so after it's processing you'll have a video. Took me long enough, this was hard. Addendum, just saw how this architecture falls a tad short, no pun intended, I have some room for improvement, I'll be revisiting this this evening.

Boom! Suck on THAT. 0.495 tons, 2.08333 seconds. 50 - 1.485 - 2.0833 = 46.4317 pts
