The Tiny Titan Medium Tanker (4 orange tanks to LKO) :)

Recommended Posts

The Hercules 9's little brother (http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/50985-The-Hercules-9-Mk-IIa!-This-puppy-will-bring-about-9-2-orange-tanks-to-a-90KM-orbit), the Tiny Titan will lift just over 4 orange tanks to an orbit of about 80KM. Although it doesn't have the sheer storage capacity of the Hercules 9, its designed to carry a reasonable amount of fuel up, with a lower parts count.

Built using the Thrust plate tutorial found on youtube

.

- Liftoff parts count: 450, drops to 121 or 100 once in LKO (depending if there's still fuel left in the last engine cluster).

- Has 1 medium docking port and RCS control to allow docking maneuvers.

- Each of the 4 tanks can be detached to be towed and reattached to another craft via medium docking ports.

Action Groups:

1: Solar Panels

2: Docking Port Shield

@ Mr Wolfy: Thank you :) appreciate that a lot! I know some of my designs have aesthetics that are inefficient (Like nose cones), and a lot of my builds are large, I just try to strike a balance between parts count, efficiency and aesthetics.
