Auto Credit Based on Teague's Nova 1 Block 1

Thanks to @Kell for pointing out a pretty big error I made on the Block 1 Version - Since then I've made the changes that were necessary. The payload capacity has risen by 40 kg and the price has gone down, in addition, it has gained an extra 300m/s of overall delta-v.


Nova 1 is a light cargo, low orbit craft outfitted with the Tyson Sea Level and Arthur vacuum Engines. With a Payload capacity of up to 540 kg. Large 6.7-meter long fairings. The Nova 1 rivals many of the other rockets in its class and aims to dominate in payload capacity and weight.

Instructions
Before liftoff, turn the heading to 85 degrees if your payload is over 350 kg
Before liftoff, turn the heading to 80 degrees if your payload is under 350 kg
Due to the high TWR of the vehicle, you must be active during the entire gravity turn. (For a slower launch throttle the engine down to about 30% This is Highly Recommended)
Ignite the second stage immediately after 1st stage separation

    @JohnnyBoythePilot Thanks! Though I am jealous of that nice looking rocket plane of yours, very sleek. Love the design.

    Oh damn, it looks like I'll have some pretty stiff competition! Just one of my Atmos rocket engines cost almost as much as one of your Nova 1 Block 2 rockets!
