Luna series

[Resender]

Currently this rocket, the Luna-FIV, uses 3 KW-MLR Hercules X (from Kyle & Winston) engines in the primary stage, cause the TD-0120 4X engine breaks under the weight.

The second stage uses the Bearcat Tri-Nozzle engine, still my biggest problem has been landing on mun without tilting over and breaking the decoupler between the lander and comand pod

[cardgame]

That lander is far too tall, yep. Can you move the ASAS at least to the deck below?

[Resender]

OK, I replaced the fuel tank with a smaller one and same for the asas

[Kreuzung]

That could work. If the decoupler still breaks, you need a heavier one, that orange-black ring is not that strong if I remember it right.

[Resender]

Ok, well see

Also had to add a second asas, like I originally used, not to the lander but to the rocket itself, the thor asas on the lander is not strong enough to keep the rocket going strait up,it started to rotate quite a lot.

In the meantime the main stage is under way

It\'s a bit annoying the game treats acceleration and deceleration as the same thing

[Kreuzung]

Asas not strong enough? I thought they use use normal controls and don\'t have a stacking effect.

[Resender]

I can\'t check atm, because of my rocket decelerating I can\'t return to the spacecenter

I ended the flight since I don\'t have the time atm to complete it

So there is an asas directly under the command module (from the thor lander), but with just that the rocket started spinning after launch,adding a classical asas under the lander seemed to solve it.

The following pictures we\'re taken during a stage test, the idea was not to get to mun but to see if all stages still behaved like they should.

I keep failing at the very last moment
