A less realistic, but maximally fun SSTO.

These tilt-engines are way more powerful and efficient than what I usually use in KSP, to the point where they probably are unrealistic af. That’s why I didn’t even bother with the TWR or dV this time. But having one part that can do a tilt engine is SO nice. If you want it to be a bit more realistic, I guess you can lower the thrust limiter. 

Its very power hungry, but it comes with an internal nuclear reactor which has a heatsink slapped on to it. This way it can run for quite a long time before running out of juice. Some capacitors also help extending that time. The cargo bay doors can also act as radiators if opened.

The COM is very carefully balanced so this thing is stable both in horizontal and vertical flight, the RCS is centred and the docking port aligns with it reasonably well. (you can dock it to the front of a mothership and it won’t make it spin out of control. If you want to use the engines to propel the other ship though, you might spin)

Da ich den #Surface Studio Desktop derzeit nicht mit vertretbarem Aufwand auf #Linux umgezogen bekomme, zweitbeste Lösung gewählt:
schnuckeliges #Dock von @tuxedocomputers statt einfachem Netzteil ans Stellaris gehängt und mein altes #Wacom #Intuos entmottet. Ein bisschen Gefrickel, um die Tastenbelegung meinem Geschmack anzupassen und mit #Krita (statt #GIMP - sorry) bin ich echt glücklich.
Jetzt braucht's noch einen Monitor mit voll-kalibriertem Farbraum und ich bin wieder im Spiel!
