Kerbal squeeze project

[Kussris]

Hi!

I am thinking about starting an acceleration challenge called "Kerbal squeeze project". The Kerbal must reach the orbit, and the challenge would be about trying to maximize the acceleration during the first stage.

If there is any interest, I can post some of my results. Everyone is invited to join.

How would this work? How will it be measured? TWR at tackoff? Highest twr at any point during the flight?

Average twr during the first stage? This will be a bit hard as it is limited by when the rocket overheats due to going to fast to low.

I think the mod KerbalEngineer can measure the G-load. If I get the craft-file of the rocket (only stock parts) it would may be possible to make some charts like this.

That is the challenge. I'm trying to get the max acceleration at a higher altitude.

Here is my first flight ...
