Ali Pad Launch Vehicle.
This my original career mode R.200. It costs more than the B variant, but can do more. I've circularised this around Droo with a 35t test payload. Not bad for $13.1m.
--Move slider 1 up before deploying solar panels. That slider controls the piston and hinge the panels are attached to.
--Booster has parachutes and a command chip, so swap to that and lock prograde after circularising. Recovery value will depend on many factors.
Maybe SpaceX fanboys (or girls!) would say to me "bro, use the Wyvern. Full flow staged". It's not as good as you think. A single 75% Wyvern (with an alpha nozzle, the only one that would fit a <50m rocket) would give the same starting TWR, but would cost $15m all by itself. It still would not have as much d-v as the Pixies. Pixies are the top dog engine in JNO.
