Reusable SSTO for career mode, with 100 t low Droo orbit capacity at any inclination between 0~180 degrees (tested every 15 degrees interval)
Upper stage fuel tank and engines attached to command disk C2 could be replaced by any part within 110 t.
Launch from DSC Bay, AG5 on to enter inclination, then wait till the SSTO release upper stage in orbit.
To operate 2nd stage, turn on AG6 then use engine as needed.
When ready, switch control to the booster and AG4 on, wait till it land on DSC landing pad A for recovery.(To get max bonus, unlock DSC large pad first)
Total cost for 1 flight: 284.3M + 6.32M - 269.8M = 20.82M
In comparison, an expendable rocket launching GNSS sat(< 20t) from Ali pad would cost at least 21.9M

Wouldn't be surprised if this guy could make a 5k reusable ssto to every planet in the game
@SimplePizzaya This one is created to get ready for 1.3 orbital rescue above Droo / Luna or any satellite mission due to mission requirement changes. As for SSTO to every planet, I don't think it'd be feasible within career tech limit but only in sandbox with lots of tinker XD
