Glad to see I'm not the only one with a lack of imaginative naming

I guess I figured this one would be a loser like all the others   but it actually flies fairly well! Since it managed the Laythe-and-back challenge much better than SSTO12 did, I suppose it does deserve a name. What do you think? It flies pretty well, but I never claimed it was pretty...

...OK, so is there some new trick to loading images now? the old [imgur]26BdW[/imgur] way doesn't seem to work, and when I paste that full link into the Insert other media dialog, I get a broken image, even though pasting it into a new browser tab gets me right to the album. Any advice fellow Kerbonauts? ...erm so the old way now seems to yield a link and not an embedded image. Any way to change that?

No fuel switcher. Building a nuclear spacecraft has been a major PITA ever since the LV-N was modified to only use LiquidFuel. Rocket fuel in KSP is a mix of 9 parts LiquidFuel and 11 parts Oxidizer so using a normal fuel tank with LV-N's means you're carrying less than 50% of the tank's actual capacity in LiquidFuel, and thus also carrying lots of dead weight because the tank is more than twice as big as it needs to be.

 

E: Oh, this thread is about spaceplanes. Sorry. I'll show myself out...

Use jet fuel containers. If you want a 2.5m jet fuel container, you can copy its file, and edit the config so it has a different name and has only liquid fuel. Then, no wasted space.

Did you read the title? "Aeronauts, what are your biggest gripes with the stock game/physics".

Sorry, I guess I forgot. But stock jet fuel containers are still useful.
