I don\'t reccomend it either, though, in this instance, it worked, as do many other parts (although I only use utility parts rather than fuel tanks or engines etc.)

Actually Scratch that, I forgot, I didn\'t actually use the decoupler in this version, I think, I just used them in the test/concept version.

I\'ll resize them when i have a spare moment to, I run a 22' TV at 1920x1080, and the screenshots are taken from the game via steam (ostensibly to use Steam to upload) but if people are having such a problem, I\'ll resize them.

Also, I like as well about I\'ve got zero comments on the actual ship.

This rocket has a strange behavior where it violently explodes when the first stage runs out of fuel while at full throttle.

Watch your g-meter. This is known behavior on some rockets; as the tank drains of fuel you accelerate faster, possibly more than some rockets can handle.

In the real world, throttle power at different times is pretty complex. You don\'t want to pancake the crew at stage burnout, nor do you want to tear the rocket apart as you pass max-Q (the point of maximum aerodynamic force)

Also, possibly because of the fairings and the decoupler, especially if you\'ve used time warp, as the fairing and the first/second stage joint tends to bend, You don\'t really need it at full throttle either, 3/4 or even 1/2 works fine and gets a bit more out of your fuel tanks than a full throttle burn does

Pretty sure I\'ve run out of fuel at full throttle and it hasn\'t exploded.
