But what they called vernier some of them look more like just ridiculously powerful RCS than real Vernier Buy yeah its about 22-23th century terminology might change considered they called WWII "medieval" -

Talk about Vernier. I'm an UC gundam fan but always annoying how they always misuse the terminology related to rocket design all arcoss the series when describe part of MS/MA apart from orbital-mechanic-don't-work-this-way or march diamond in-space that can see in all the popular sci-fi. Like confusing between RCS and Vernier, "Apogee Motor" on MS, etc. Also I never understand why the mechanic designer never consider aerospike as all the engineering challenges can be handwaved away when you have a giant robot as it make sense on something that supposed to be general purpose machine that can operate both on earth and in space. -

Well apparently RCS is unnecessary in the universe that spacecrafts can whoosh through space like an aircraft -
I still don't understand why they choose cluster of dinky RL-10s instead of J-2X for EUS. For make it different from Ares?

My problem about newer Starwars movies is it is trying to be realistic and failed in the flim about space wizard -
I think the bigger problem for this thing the upperstage. Also, is it looks like tricoupler is also an interstage with as I know, there is no KSP mod with such thing. There is very few information about third stage (appearancely in the proposal it count sustainer as second stage not 1.5) only thing I found is that it use storeable means it is not Centaur which no information about what it is but it looks too big to be Agena.

Well this on one called Gamma Centaur Centaur Junior. Anyways, I think for another Centaur Jr. can be done easily whenever you make revamped single engine mount just tweakscale the whole thing down And about Vega there is some porposal for mercury lab to use Vega stage, will the adapter include? Also behold the Triple-Atlas

Why not make mega catamaran out of tankers? Gap between two hull is a flame trench on its own with landing pads on both end and launch pad in the middle and such size can accommodate giant methane plant, inspection and refurbishment facility easily.

Good ol' Bono the plug nozzle guy (Honestly any porposal that using plug nozzle are like 80+% came from him alone)
-
Anyone have a trick for hot staging? Recently I tried to do this instead of normal staging but never hit the right time. Either too early and lower tank explode from upperstage's heat or too late and lower stage already flame out by the time I started the upperstage

@CobaltWolf Anyways about Agena, any chance for Agena2000 that was an upperstage for cancelled Atlas V lite. From the proposal it looks like it use same tank and avionics as Centaur III but about half the height but there is no pictures of the stage, it might be the same size as old agena but inside Delta-K style interstage. The engine looks mostly like one form already exist droptank Agena but I am not sure how to cenvert spec in to KSP scale.

"Without exploding" means some of them had engine rich combustion isn't it? I wonder how many SN sacrificed to the Kraken on the test stand at this point of development

I sent a rover to Eve but its scanner arm only worked only for the first time. I tried to scan other features but it said "can not analyze..." after the scanning is done no matter what the feature is.
