Improved Stock Craft Repository

[Starwhip]

I've recently gotten the idea to improve some of the now-broken (or always broken) craft in stock KSP by default. I'll be putting them here as I finish them.

I may also later include craft that I make that I feel could be stock. Click the craft titles for a download link.

Rocket Power VTOL: 1.0

An iconic craft, but sadly, a TWR less than one post 1.0. With the original in mind I built this version from the ground up, keeping the general shape but refining some of the part positions.

I've always wondered why they kept them.

They are supposed to be somewhat broken, so the player can fix the problems and learn about how to do things at the same time

In my opinion that that doesn't help new players at all. Examples of working craft are much better in my opinion, they would show the new players what they need to be doing to succeed in the game.

Now, if there were craft that one was supposed to fix, then that would be okay. But only having a whole bunch of half-finished ideas, and outdated ones at that, are not helpful.

Wasn't there a thread that would challenge people to refresh the stock crafts into new one, but keeing the same look and/or functionality? Would like to see it happen again.

Stock Revamp is a mod, you might want to change the name of the thread. Maybe "Improved stock craft?"
