Finding out Rocket Information

[The Procrastinaut]

When I build rockets, I want to know their weight, thrust at take-off and fuel capacity - is there any way to find this all out without having to manually add up everything using the component list in the VAB? :/ any help would be greatly appreciated!

IIRC, poking around in some of the MechJeb 'information' panels while your rocket's on the launchpad (not in the VAB) should give you it's overall weight and quite possibly fuel capacity as well... don't know about thrust though - even if it's included on one of the readouts, I reckon that might still read zero until you light 'er up. And if you're anything like me, once that happens you're too busy trying not to crash/explode/deal with lag to be looking at MechJeb readouts!

There is also something called like "Reddux engineering plugin" somewhere which gives you all the info you want in the VAB

Ahh! I had Mechjeb on v0.16, but I haven't put it in 0.17 yet so I'll go give that a go, thanks!
