Ship Request

[bombo1]

I just happened to need a launcher for this spacecraft which weighs 275 tons. I tried to make a launcher for it but it fell apart mid-flight and the part count was at 700 so the game ran at 0,1 FPS.

so i am requesting a stock launcher that can lift 275 tons to 80x80 orbit with low part count.

The problem is that no one should ever want to lift 275 tons.

Short answer: impossible

Short question: why?

With a single big tanks + NERVA you can go anywhere...

Because i wanted to have enough deltaV to go to eeloo and back in one trip and one ship (I have rover and a lander as cargo).

I am going to look at that idea and if it is doable i am deleting this thread.

Entirely doable, however of dubious ease and practicality

Couldn't you circularize with the vehicle itself and then refill its tanks once in orbit? It looks like it has a docking port

...it's going to take long with that TWR, though.

If you still want to get it up there you could just drain the tanks of fuel and refuel later in orbit. It would cause way more unneeded work tahn re-designing your ship though. Less=More

It seams that it is a rather good idea so this thread is pointless now. Time for deletion.

Just launch it as is.

search for "fuelstar" on spaceport and use that to refuel your ship once in orbit.

This isn't impossible. I've seen plenty of lifters posted on this forum that are capable of doing it. Let me see what I can do.
