*Checks mediafire:

"HMS Vanguard.craft downloads: 0..."

Well, this is embarrassing.

[zekes]

Also, here's pics of that laythe base I was talking about... the Cira VI was essentially designed with the sole purpose of putting it into orbit.

I'll work on minimalism now

Impressive, although that is a modded craft, so it snot AS impressive as stock lifting such insane amounts (i dont thing above 500t stock can be done).

Still, gj, that thing could lift 4 bloody capital ships in orbit (or 8 carriers)

I still have someone's craft file of over 1000t stock launcher. It probably wouldn't fly under FAR though, I'll have to try it soon.

Eh? Its stock.

Still grumbling about this launcher. I was finally getting close to beating the Cira IV and you go and post this!

Lol... just take your biggest ship and strap 5 more to it

I'm trying! It likes to disassemble though....

An overblown Soyuz ??!?!!

You should consider releasing the boosters at the same time. Name it zokesia cross or so

[icantmakemodels]

wait... are you using RT-10s for seperators?

EDIT: yes you are

i didnt read the rest of the thread:)

But that would be less efficient... but it would look awesome

IDK, i could try, but the fuel feed is scary... I feel like I'll wreck something if I touch it, it's a jungle in there...

Far? Near?

[zekes]

Far? Near?

I play stock, I think someone said it works with FAR and RSS I think...

[zekes]

Hooray, this ship is now my most popular download since the company reboot in September (220 downloads)! Thanks guys!

Damn... I assume that if you put a normal small probe/interplanetary ship/interplanetary cruiser on it it would be able to get to Duna or something on the main lifter.

yeah, it's got like 11,000 m/s of fuel without payload, so that means technically you could put litte probes all the way out to the Jool system with this
