Ship suggestions

[Captain Sierra]

So it's that time again, I've built a ship and I don't know what to do with it! Okay, I built half a ship, and I'm not sure how I want to do the other half, so I seek inspiration. Here is what I got:

That's the unfueled drive stage for my first Sentari class tour ship, christened the Nebulon. She's got 7 rockomax jumbos which, under the old design, gave her about 9000 dV without the landers and SSTOs. With them, that comes down to about 6500, but that's still enough to go pretty much anywhere, save from Jool straight to Moho.

I'm fairly uncertain about the rest of the design. I've got a pretty good layout for the kethane refinery but I'm not sure how to mount two kethane tanker landers and two Lathe (and hopefully Duna) rated SSTOs without putting them in such a way where they wobble like crazy under thrust and aerobraking. I first thought of reducing the kethane landers to 1 so I could mount it inside Porkjet's giant 5m girder bay. That would work nicely as long as I fit the SSTOs behind it, but it still leaves them untethered. The hard part is the SSTOs are docking via a dorsal port right behind the cockpit. Last option is to make it two so a multidock setup can work. This would require some interesting work and maybe modified parts to do.

Any ideas on how to deal with the docking bay situation here?

copious amounts of struts. thats how I keep my sstos from falling off my ships.

I got 99 problem and a strut aint one.

I got no quantum struts and no KAS. What witchcraft do you know that lets me strut down an SSTO after docking without those mods? I must know, this is the end of wobble as we know it, even with KJR!

dock your ssto with 2/3/4 docks

I can do this, but its really too much to ask (read: completely rebuild the plane from scratch). So far, what I have is the girder bay sectioned off into two distinct sections, one holding the keth lander and the command runabout vehicle, and the other for the upper stage of the Tylo lander. The spaceplane docks are behind the bay. My first attempt at a multidocking SSTO was an epic fail. It ended up looking bad, performing bad, and failing to circularize.
