First World SSTO Problems


Recommended Posts

So, I installed FAR today, and now I'm putting things in orbit with massively excessive amounts of fuel. I can now officially do single-stage-to-duna without using jets. So, yeah. Yay FAR. But with all this extra DV, I want to actually do stuff. Since I've already combined a launcher and a transfer stage, I'm feeling the need to go full-on rocketpunk and build a rocket that can launch from kerbin, transfer to any planet (probably including moho) and do a fully powered landing/take off from the surface of every body except Tylo and Eve (and can land on Tylo) with one refueling in LKO or at the destination.

However, I'm really running up against the limits of stock landing legs. The rocket is quite tall, and also rather heavy without many good places to mount/strut landing legs. Basically, I need a bit of inspiration to make this little dream of mine work.

(For those who are curious, the mods used were procedural fairings, FAR, Stretchy Tanks, and MechJeb for the info panel)

Also, the fairings cost ~200 m/s of (LV-T30) DV. Such is the price of beauty. Though there may be some savings due to reduced drag.
