Okay, I will have to try that. Thanks!

One thing is was expecting when I used the HAL, and I suspect with the MAL as well, I thought it would orient the prograde up perpendicular from the top of the base structure. Is the current orientation there for a reason? Is there a way it can be changed or customizable? I suppose I could use a planetary command pod. I haven't tested the orientation settings for that one.

Retro Separatrons on the boosters staged at the time of separation would be my suggestion to prevent collisions. Not sure about the other problem.
