After three months and five different design changes I finally place the craft online in KerbalX : Named after the Greek titan Kronos (know by the Romans as Saturn) and his daughter Demeter the vehicle is made to reach an Ap of 500 with its "Vector" as S.S.M.E. and circulate with the "Thud" playing a role of O.M.E. Fully made of 140 stock parts the craft is costing a bunch (about 260 000 funds) to just send seven crew members in orbit. The Orbiter for its parts comes with a laboratory and a docking-node-wanna-be made of a lander can and a small fuel tank : The sole bad point to me is the really sensitive attitude of the orbiter during any re-enter. You have to ensure a perfectly stable angle before 60 km or the craft will be easily destroyed. Once around 20-15 km its controls start to beome effective again. The landing for its part is more than easy and soft. Just try to be perfectly aligned with the RWY and everthing will be normal.
