Large Golden OCTO and Flat Grey HECS

[Whirligig Girl]

It would be nice to have a 1.25m OCTO and a Flattened HECS probe core, though I would imagine they should be redesignated for more consistent naming. OCTO/HECS would be the default grey multi-layer insulation 0.625m probe core, OCTO2/HECS2 would be the flattened 0.625m probe core, and OCTO3/HECS3 would be the 1.25m version that is covered in the golden multi-layer insulation.

just use the Advanced Command System or whatever it's called. The HECS doesn't really fit in with any of the craft components.

The Hecs is perfect for static Solar panels. I find myself using it more than the QBE or Stayputnik

...you still sometimes use the Stayputnik? I mean ofcourse, after you have other options. I loved using it in early rockets designed to achieve orbit without guidence, but i was glad when I got the science to move on

The name Stayputnik hardly makes any sense after SAS function was removed.

For about 2 missions early on in career.
