Help in making a really powerful first stage, aka Mah tank is too big!

[Guest Aaack]

Honestly I don't know.. I have no reason whatsoever to do it this way, except it's difficult and fun.

I'm regularizing the orbit of the second station right now, you're right I don't need 2 orange tanks... But now I've four

Now, here's a curious thing, after the advices I got on the other posts I removed the unnecessary fuel lines from it and made is SO wobbly it used to explode at 9 or 10 seconds of lift off (the pic I posted).

I returned to the previous station with all the redundant fuel lines and it holded the orbit insertion beautifully.

Fuel lines does contribute to the structural strength? Apparently so!

Fuel lines is basically struts, but yellow and capable to flow fuel.

oh my, then the whole thing was immensely reinforced everywhere!

Thank you, Koshelenkovv, that is something I wouldn't ever imagine!

Yesterday I frustrated myself to tears trying to catch a station, no matter how hard I try it seems I can't catch it... The closest I was to it was 2 Km but it went by like a shooting star grrr Ill try again today hehe
