Rockomax decpuplers really starting to piss me off...

[GalaxyGryphon]

Ever since they came out, they have NEVER worked in my favor, the more struts i add, it seems to break just as fast AS soon as the rocket spawns on the launchpad, this is REALLY irritating me, what do i do?

whats right under the yellow ladder is what breaks as soon as the ship spawns.

I found the problem, it needs more sepatrons. Put some facing away from the rocket each stage to compensate for the ejection force, and arrange them in a way that they would fire once you've decoupled it. Two should be enough each, but four (and six or eight) could be used for heavier boosters.

the decoupler snaps off from the lower part of the ship as soon as the rocket spawns, i dont see how this would help.

More launch clamps. You can put them higher up too.

[Flixxbeatz]

Try putting 2 struts each between:

-the bottom gray tank and the decoupler

-the upper small tank and the decoupler

-the engine to the upper tank

Check if it solves anything.

Is that a poodle? Or the LVN-B? Don't recall how tall it looks while in its fairings. If its the nuke, they are quite brittle when connected to decouplers, even when properly strutted

It's a poodle for sure. The shroud is 2m but isn't that large.

thanks for the advice, sadly i need to go to sleep as i am dead tired, ill try it out tomorrow.

Suggestion: replace the large decoupler with a small one, and use the space this opens for strut-o-mania.

[GalaxyGryphon]

this is retarded..... i can get it to spawn but as soon as i launch it pops off 3 seconds later, and im not even accelerating fast.

Do you have something enormously heavy on top of everything?

Also, you could try removing everything on the sides, and the struts with them. If this makes it more stable then you might have too many struts and connections between parts above and below the decoupler.
