[RTM Through Patch 2] "Standard failures bug" versus "Punishment protocol bug"

These 2 bugs are similar so I thought I would group them and try to define them.

standard failures - a trivial failure - only meant to trip up noobs - workaround: double click vehicle and take back control

punishment protocol - heavier failure associated with low fps/continuous wing and other part breakages - sadomaschism for the experienced - workaround: game restart

I have managed to create a vehicle that aggravates the punishment protocol excellently.

1. It is a long horizontal vehicle that I just realized has the same kind of flex issues that tall rockets have.  This makes it a nightmare on the runway and creates failures during the takeoff run.

2. The wings fall off every time like clockwork upon load unless the game is restarted.  Every single change takes around 3 minutes and parts manager takes around 30 seconds to load.  When the wings fall off they don't just fall they are jerked off the vehicle like the hand of God has taken them.

3. There are many pieces clipped into each other and many heavy hydrogen tanks inside of cargo bays.  The structural integrity is nearly non-existent.

4. It is about 500 tons on the runway and needs MUCH more fuel because I am not playing around here.  Random failures everywhere.

5. Still not up to my ultimate standards so I keep adding more stuff to it because how could I possibly go somewhere without a STOVL system etc.  This creates more failures.  

Every time the wing falls off I scream out "EVOLUTION" and do a little dance or fist pump or say "YESSSSSSSSSSSSS" like Maccaulkay Caulkin in Home Alone 2 and promptly restart the game.

I am not just building this on a whim this time.  I was underwhelmed with the last vehicle I sent to Eve and I want to develop a beautiful vehicle that can return from the Eve surface with ease, dignity and safety.  It will need hundreds of tons of conventional fuel and a few hundred tons of hydrogen fuel for the cheat nuclear engines I have created.  The game is punishing people for having the nerve to fly around in a dignified way without a goofy stacked rocket that comes apart as it runs through fuel. That is not my way.  I do not leave trash where I go.  No staging.  Only flying through space like an Angel without a worry in the world is how I want to fly.  I will not rest until I drive fabulous winged vehicles all around the solar system.

Where are everyone else's Eve returners I can compare to?  Where is everyone's ambition?  Why is the best vehicle in the spacecraft exchange a recreation dinosaur?
