Behemoth to orbit!

[Tokay Gris]

Development of the "Pollux" lead to the "Behemoth".

This baby got into orbit the usual way. With a few tricks. But tricks from stock!

First, it was put on the launchpad:

You might notice the small engines on the payload. Those are then started. Since they work against each other, no movement of the vessel results. Just a lot of exhaust.

The additional engines are then decoupled and thrown away with the help of separators.

After that, the payload weights about 65 tons and can be put into orbit the usual way.

The liftoff stage is rather overpowered, but leftover fuel can then be transfered to the actual vessel.

Now the tedious task of refueling that beast can start!

Craft-file will be added as soon as I find out how...

Epic ship like the launch smoke!

Clever I Hadn't thought of emptying tanks like that

A small update.

I just refuelled that beast. (Well.... It would have been seven "Lummox" refuelling tankers, so I "cheated")

The "Behemoth" has a wooping 11400 m/s. Before any payload is attached, of course.
