Awesome! May I auggest making a RSS but with the same types of textures Kerbin uses instead of the normal colors? Like how GregoxMun did his planet mod, with these textures:
I can likely fix the first two problems but the third I will need some help on. I won't be available most of the weekend but on Sunday I might be able to upload the part file with the ones fixed as well as uploading the .blend file for it. Not sure how to make the thrust transforms.
How about I make a save with comsats and a space tug in orbit? So we can focus on making cool things and not infrastructure. I won't make it OP, though.
