Hey everyone, I'm at my wits end... i'm trying to build an SSTO That can carry 5 or 6 kerbals + some freight to LKO. I've tried Scott Manley's design but i just can't get it into orbit. Then i redesigned that a little, added an engine from a mod with a lot more thrust than the regular turbojet (the D-30F7 Turbojet, 775Kn @ Mach 3, from the B9 Aerospace pack) and replaced two Swivels with a Poodle, and i made it to a 70k orbit only to have no fuel left. If someone could help me out it'd be greatly appreciated. This is the current design:

Ah! Thanks so much Sebi!

Hey everyone, I've read somewhere on the forum that you can retrieve data from KSC that you've transmitted/delivered earlier in the game, so you can submit it to a science lab. Can anyone tell me how to do this? (forgive me for not being able to link the post - switching between systems, can't seem to find the post in my history)

This might've been asked a million times already, but is there an idiots guide/basic tutorial for this mod? I've been playing around with it and reading up, but i can't seem to get a good grasp on how i would actually go about getting a good setup together for interstellar travel. I'm a noob playing careermode, and i'm trying to build my first interstellar ship. I've been fiddling with stock NERV configurations, but they don't provide enough thrust (but plenty of delta V). I hoped switch to the NERVA engine would solve my problems, and while i'm getting more thrust, i need a huge amount of Hydrogen tanks to get the equal amount of delta V. Which leads me to think i might not fully understand this mod... Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Quick question; When i try to attach the Expanded Service Bay to a pod, the bay stays translucent, and never becomes part of the final ship. What am i doing wrong here?

Thanks for the quick replies, i will look into these.

Hey everyone, I'm looking for a mod that adds a double height service bay, or something similar... I plan on sticking a rover in it, kinda like Scott Manley did here: https://youtu.be/LzQ4t7gjKcs?list=PLYu7z3I8tdEkUeJRCh083UT-Lq5ZIKI75&t=573 More suggestions for mods/parts that help with Rover delivery are more than welcome, i've been looking around and have seen some ingenious methods, but i want something idiot proof
