Good design Initative

[I got BCed]

This is a challenge of efficient rocket design and intelligent piloting.

Challenge: Land the largest possible mass on Mun, with the lightest initial rocket.

Scoring: Competing Vessels mass on the Mun surface divided by it's mass on the pad. (Mass measurements must be taken with a Mechjeb unit) (Score = Mm / Mp)

Required Evidence: A screen shot of the vessel on the pad, with the Mj Vessel information open and a screen shot of the vessel on the Mun, with the Mj Vessel information open.

Hmm, a decent design challenge...

Can you make the fuel fix mod a requirement.

It's ridiculously easy to make an efficient Mun rocket if you're able to abuse the throttle bug.

Without this mod you can strap on a ton of engines and run them all at 5% throttle and you'll get there using barely any fuel.

/me agrees with Deadbeef

For the time being i'm working on designs for a basic 3 man Mun lander and return craft. So far not entirely stock though but a mix of stock and stock-balanced NovaPunch parts. Would that count as stock?
