What is your favorite stock engine?

For rockets my go-to is the "swivel" good fuel economy, reasonable thrust, and gimballing make it the workhorse of my space program time and time again.

But for my aircraft i absolutely love the whiplash. It's en enabler for my silliest and outlandish designs, and the most agile craft I can muster.

Probably the Rhino (single-nozzle 3.75m engine). Looks great, plenty of power, awesome ISP. Easy to make chemical SSTOs with :)

Yeah, it's almost OP. I remember once I decided I was going to build a Tintin Rocket analog. Big SSTO thing on three legs. Using a single Rhino I was able to build one that could not only make it into Earth orbit, but all the way to Mun orbit, and come back home. I had to use a few parachutes to help with the landing. But all the same, that thing has a huge amount of deltaV.

Definitly the Nerv... they're the backbone of all my interplanetary ships

Nice fleet! I never used to like the LV-N, I thought they nerfed it too much from V0.90 and the LF only config just messed me up. But now that I started designing SSTO's I've found a new love for them - they're just so efficient, I just wish you could choose if they run on LF+Ox or just LF.
