Cluster Missile - Kerbal Warfare Program

[DJ Daemonix]

Hello,

I propose here a challenge that will transform Kerbal Space Program into Kerbal Warfare Program.

Anyone wanted to show off their latest invention in mass destruction/havoc weaponry ? Time has paid, and we shall see through this challenge.

This is a challenge regrouping the most ingenious, most creative, most powerful, and most impressing designs.

RULES :

Objective : Build a missile detaching into several bombs, aslo known as a Cluster missile. You may detonate it wherever you see fit, and detaching process may occur wherever you see fit. Your Cluster, your way !

Restrictions : What is classed as a bomb is a small end payload detached from the Cluster or Sub-Cluster that possess no propulsion method, else it will be considered a Sub-Cluster. A bomb must NOT be made of only a decoupler/separator or it will be considered as a debris.

Mods : Any major mods may be used, except for weaponry orientated mods (like BDArmory). The use of cheat mods (such as MechJeb² and HyperEdit) are forbidden.

Variants : For interstellar mod, you may build special cluster missiles such as Nuclear/Radiating. All of it will count towards the terror factor (described below).

Entry : The price of the missile must be specified by a screenshot / video of the VAB or else the Entry will not be counted for Efficiency.

Further rules bay be enacted if judged necessary.

LEADERBOARD :

The leaderboard will be divised into 4 categories : The most clustered (More bombs are better), The most efficient (more bang for the buck), The most terrorizing (Civilians will scream), The most ingenious (Creation is key!)

My entry:

288 Bombs.

BTW, How is Mechjeb a "cheat mod"; all it does is provide information about the craft and several autopilots. I used KER in mine just FYI. It's pretty hard to do this challenge without encountering the Kraken, as I had several similar designs to this (one with about 1500 bombs) that kept getting hit by the kraken on launch.... so yeah.

[DJ Daemonix]

A new rule is being enacted : Cluster Missile must be able to reach Sub-Orbital flight. This is to prevent enormous bombs detonating on the Launchpad without flight.

How exactly is blast radius calculated?

[DJ Daemonix]

It is calculated by the biggest spread of most of the debris before impact. The spread is truncated and rounded up to ~0.1km.
