Auto Credit Based on Pedro's Meiga I-16

Edit: The winner is @Jaime731 with a payload of 51.5 tons in a 112km to 184km orbit

After months waiting to have a minor bug fixed and thanks to @Jaime731 for pushing me to take a look at this thing I'm glad to show you Meiga I-16.

How to use it:
Activate the 1st stage and you'll see the screen on top of the launch tower go down. As it goes down the tower arms will retract and the engines activate, so be prepared.
Lock direction, set throttle between 20 and 50% (depending on the payload you can get too high TWR)
You'll have to take control of the direction of the craft, but the staging is fully automated, so don't care about it.

Things this has:
- Automated staging
- Fully automated countdown and tower
- Unknown max cargo

With the 3 point comes a challenge. The person to get the highest payload to any Droo orbit (you're only allowed to change the size of the payload and tinker panel is not allowed) will win a collaboration with me.

This means I will help you in one craft, you can choose which one. I can automate the staging, the LES, the propulsive landing, try to improve the efficiency (both in rocket performance and in game performance), suggest changes in the design and teach you tricks both in the editor and in xml.

Remember, you have a week and the first to get to the max payload wins. You have to share the sandbox (unlisted and then share the link in the comment section) of the payload in orbit.

    @Jaime731 we're going to release a cargo version in 1 week and hopefully the cabin in 2. It's not auto-luna but it has auto staging and automated propulsive landing of the cabin in Droo, like the SpaceX Dragon craft

    @Jaime731 1 week because it's going to dissappear from the main crafts tab, but I can extend the challenge if you want

    @PlanesofJundroo yup, it's the only way we have to add InputBasedActivators

    Nice. Did you use XML for the automated staging?
