Completed test on the Mk1-a variant and it can lift 75,160kg into a 2500km orbit with about 1m39s of fuel left. The new variant will be coming out shortly.

I have uploaded the upgraded version. It now has lights and a max lift cap value.

Most people won't download a craft unless there is a picture. You can use an image hosting website like imgur to post them on the forum with a link.

I know i am currently getting the file uploaded.

i have uploaded a new pic

You should really link some Imgur photos/albums in your post... I'm interested, but I don't download unless I can see the craft first. You know the drill, no pics no clicks.

I will add photos to that location after i pull everything back off of my external HD. Had System Crash. Thanks for the post.

To everyone; Please make sure you check KerbalX.com to see what mods were used in creating this vessel/craft. This is to ensure that you are not downloading a vessel/craft and then have to download mods afterwards in order to use it. If, you check first then you can at your choice download the mods and install them, then download the vessel/craft.

I create my craft for everyone to use. I do not know if, you have any of the mods installed that i am using when i create the craft. Please do not leave me a post on curse.com telling me about all the mods the craft uses. I am the one who made it. FYI - i take no offense to said comment, i will still answer. :P
