Pro SSTO Continued!

[SpaceplaneAddict]

Hello forum users! I'm SpaceplaneAddict, and welcome to the PRO SSTO challenge continued! Unfortunately, the previous user who ran the thread, said he was dealing with In Real Life issues, and released the thread. Surprised a mod hasn't locked it yet! Anyways, premise remains same. This time though, it's Addiction Aeroworks that wants the SSTO. And, yes, they are a tiny bit more lenient about requirements.

The Rules For Builders:

-Wheaton's Law

-Must be SSTO! Rockets, Spaceplane I don't care.

-Stock. + Mechjeb

-Any other info mod is fine.

-If multiple tests are conducted, fund/fuel usage must be recorded. Dead kerbals will result in points deducted

The Rules for Pilots:

-No quicksave/reverts

-Wheaton's Law

-MechJeb not allowed

-INFO ONLY mods

Universal Rules:

-Builder scoring is determined by

other pilots flying your craft

Oh this time I can use my gamepad! Great!

One thing though, you might want to clarify the builder-pilot relationship for newcomers.

Apart from that, I shall make a new design for this challenge!

[SpaceplaneAddict]

Thanks for the heads up! Looking forward to it

There is now a reward for pilots w/o any external (gamepads)

[The_Rocketeer]

I think Vegetal and I fell thru the cracks. I flew Vegetal's 'Space Whale' (here) so he definitely qualifies for Builder and I for Pilot.

Also, Nefrums flew my entry, the 'SSSP 100 - Hostess' for me (here), so I believe that elevates me to Master.

Are you carrying over Nich's leaderboards?

Terribly sorry, I'll edit the Legacy board now. To answer your question, I will not be carrying over Nich's scoreboard. This is due to incompatability with some rules/scoring. The Legacy board is my comprimise to said problem. Right after I post this, I will be fixing the Legacy board. After that, any new entries will be on either the builder or pilot leaderboard. I'm fully sorry if this is disturbing you, but if there is any other suggestions you have, I will gladly accept.

And let me explain the Legacy board. The Legacy board is just to show the participants of the old thread. It is where I wanted people to see who was successful. It also helps (in my opinion) to make sure there are no hard feelings in the former participants.

I encourage participants of the old thread to try their hand with these new rules!

Good luck!

Modified Builders rules.

[The_Rocketeer]

No problem regarding the leaderboard, just curious. I'll see about a new builder submission sometime this week.

[Stoney3K]

Apparently nobody ever bothered to fly my first entry. I guess I'll submit a new one later this week.

[Przemqo]

Thank you for continunation of challenge! Looking forward to see new cool SSTO designs

New badges are in the works. Can anyone tell me the name of the most basic SSTO in KSP? Hint hint.

[The_Rocketeer]

Yeh, it's the Kickback booster

[SpaceplaneAddict]

Jeb approves. But VALENTINA was asking the question.
