Rocket I’ve been working on for a day or two.

Stats:
~ 16km/s Δv
- Can fully orbit on main stage engines alone without using the vacuum stage & carrying a 300T payload in the fairing (with the SRBs of couse)
- Made it to a 130km Cylero orbit with 29% fuel remaining on vacuum stage (while carrying said 300T payload)
- Very heavy (havent checked mass Idk)
- Probably very pricey too

Some issues:
- SRBs are placed too high, and they overheat the fairing surrounding the main stage engine cluster. Will shift them down eventually. Turn down heat damage in settings if you can.
- No RCS, and Gyroscopes are pretty weak. Will add larger ones later.
- Flies fine with a payload, but without one it tends to flip if your gravity turn is too agressive. (Maybe an RCS/Gyro solution)

Ideal flight profile: (assuming 300T payload)
- Don’t start the gravity turn unyill you’ve cleared ~5km ASL and are going a little over 300m/s. (I like to start at 4.8km because this thing is sloooow)
- Gradually pitch over untill ~40 degrees at 35-40km with an apogee of ~120km.
- SRBs should be spent by now, so ditch them.
- Pitch to -10 degrees, and burn till circularised.
- If you did it right, it should be one continuous burn till orbit, with about 8% fuel left on the main stage. Use the ~8% to kickstart another burn, or deorbit the main stage and save the space dolphins. Your choice.

If I figure out how to program with vizzy I’ll add an auto-launch script. If you like the craft, and devide to do that yourself, upload it and tag me or something. That would be cool.
