  1. I have a fully stock rocket-plane I'd like to show, but I need to do a little more testing for the full mission run-through. It is meant to fly to orbit, dock to a fuel station and refuel, fly to Gilly and land there, and then fly home. As refueling is not allowed, I way just fly to the station, not transfer any fuel, and head back down. I've only tested a vertical launch, but it should be able to have a runway launch and immediately pitch up. Would that be allowed? It is single stage.
  2. Maybe make a general easy, medium, hard, and expert badge for other planet packs or heavily modded submissions? (mega colony with life support, assembling an interstellar mothership with a fusion engine, doing it in FAR or some planet pack)
  3. Turning cabin lights blue increases the coefficient of cool by 200%, which makes transmissions 200% more secure!
  4. Testing results: MOAR POWER worked great - I doubled the thrust on each design and now they reach orbit with plenty to spare using a standard gravity turn via MechJeb. Thank you all for your help!
  5. I've tried adding more fuel, but I am still getting some diminishing returns. Also, more fuel tanks = more changing center of mass compared to the base design = bad plane. A Swivel is a horrible idea, they have not that much thrust at sea level, and in vacuum they aren't so good either. The Reliant and Kodiak are promising atmospheric engine candidates, and again a terrier or cheetah could be used in vacuum.
