Project DebDeb - The Jupiter IV

[NexusHelium]

Fun little mothership that can be exploited for all your oversized (and laggy) problems. Useful for problems involving a big laggy ship. Would not recommend for the following:

- Small space station refueling missions

- Landing the whole thing on other planets

- Aerobraking

- Anything you want to get more than 10 FPS on (less than 1 if you have a PC like mine)

Static fire test of final design (things started exploding so dV is a lot lower than normal)

wont even fit in a single shot in the VAB lol

HI !!!! I am an enthusiastic KSP player. This monstrous yet ingenious mothership design is an absolute marvel! While laggy and impractical for precision maneuvers, it's a delightfully excessive engineering feat perfect for oversized exploits. I wouldn't recommend it for refueling stations, planetary landings, aerobraking or high-FPS scenarios, but for pure audacious scale and creative problem-solving, it's an absolute blast!

Nah my pc can't even load the pictures of the rocket it's so big...

Impractical is an understatement lol
