Largest Rocket in KSP History (First stage only)

[GiantTank]

I went a lil insane using the RO Seadragon mod cfg thing. And came up with a 1.4 million ton rocket. FAR hates me, but its just the first stage. I will add 2nd stage and fairing later. For now, Ill take a break. This caused several crashes today from the thrust plates. I changed the attach rules instead.

Eh, I'm sure Whackjob's built bigger!

Nevertheless, that is a magnificently huge rocket, well done! I can't wait to see the whole thing!

Yeah with procedural parts Its theoretically possible to create an infititely large first stage assuming KSP could handle a part that big, and you have a computer the size of the universe to run it. I know I've made launch clamps 80km tall, so that's or the 2 km physics range is probably the actual limit of the size.

Anyways, one thing that I have noticed is how the longer I have played KSP, the less impressive gigantic rockets are to me, and the more impressive tiny rockets are.

Of course, you have to lift the part up also with engines. And there is a massive issue with ksp freaking out and killing itself. As in, corrupting every craft file, making it impossible to build things,and forcing your hands at a reinstall. Plus you gotta click a lot for the thing to get to the size its at. Such as this which is 100 meters long and 200 meters tall.

Cheers!

*Builds giant rocket and launches it* *KSP is not responding* *KSP must close due to an error* *Checks crash report* *It says "STOP BUILDING HUGE ROCKETS YOUR 1 GB OF DDR2 RAM CAN'T SAVE YOU... end crash report* That is one huge rocket you got there.

Anyone remember the BFE?

Moved to the craft sharing and showing section.

Pretty sure this has everything anyone could ever hope to build beat in terms of absurdly huge:

Those engines on the bottom are called BFE-5000s. For scale, here's what the BFE-5000 looks like on a normal-sized craft:

Apologies for the really old version. Those tanks are 1.25m ones. Yes.
