Yeah, most of the ship's design infrastructure is based off of his work, but I decided that the way the spinal structure worked had to be more internal and protected with more fuel for the nukes whereas his designs have very small amounts of deltaV as he does not place fuel on the outside of the main structure. He was also the one who got me back into ksp as I played this on and off for a long time now. Most of the parts are also probably the extremely complex layers of armor as each piece of the outer shell is ~14 to 19 parts alternating and symmetrical for 12-14 sections (cant remember and don't wanna check atm) which makes 198 to 231 parts (I think) +all the other struts, interior armor, core and weapons would and front and back armor bring that up a lot.
Originally this was gonna be a frigate too xD
