Artifical limits that influence your designs

I've been limiting myself to using only reusable launch vehicles. My Reusable Rocket launch vehicle (because of its rather inefficient launch trajectory required to allow the boosters to land back at KSC, and the need to keep enough fuel to return the sustainer to KSC) can only lift about 38 tons into orbit, so all my ships get assembled out of pieces smaller than this limit.

I also do not leave kerbals stranded on faraway planets with no intention of returning them home.

Is there any specific reason you dislike asparagus staging Fried? I hardly ever use it, but I'm curious now since your the only one that mentioned that as a factor.

The asparagus staging is just a different paralell staging method. If you're using FAR, it won't work well with it. If you look at real life rockets, they are all tall and streamlined. KSP's stock aerodynamics seems to favor the opposite.
