Creation of SSTO "Ranger" followed one primary goal - make a spacecraft that is as universal as possible.
Enable part lift forces for better experience
This SSTO is state of the art spacecraft desighed for transporting crew to most of planets you could step on. It can land on most planets\moons, neither it has atmosphere or not. It is equiped with 3 propulsion systems:
Aerospike - engine with most efficiency, used for space travel
Low Gravity Rocket VTOL Engines - they are used when finishing landing on moons
VTOL Propellers - to make flying on planets with atmosphere easier, SSTO has these propellers, allowing it to fly, land and take off anywhere.
Controls and AGs:
- Aerospike
- VTOL Propellers
- Gyroscope
- Roll stabilization (Note: works poorly in vacuum, don't use it there)
- Fuel Cells (In case you need to recharge in atmospheric flight, they take ~3% of fuel for full recharge)
- Lights (Bottom lights are activated automatically if you are VTOL-ing and you are under 200 AGL)
- Docking Bay
- Landing Gear
- Solar Panels
- RCS
- Low Gravity Rocket VTOL
Sliders:
Controls front propeller thrust in Propeller VTOL mode, and LGR-VTOL Engines, limiting front or back engine's thrust to balance
Controls propeller motors torque (Note - motors will always try to reach max RPM)
Controls propellers tilt
Not used
Notes:
Its recommended to reduce torque on motors when flying horisontaly, for more efficient battery consumption rate.
Set slider 1 to ~40% when using VTOL propellers, this should balance spaceplane.
Front propellers disengage when slider 3 is at 75% or more
Re-enter carefully when your orbit is highly elliptical, spaceplane might not tolerate it well when you go on low alt at high speed. Its best to do multiple aerobrakes in that case.
Thats all i got to say, enjoy!

The craft broke the game
Every time i try to take off the game freezes and the screen glitches out

I saw a version few weeks ago that was similar to this that worked on mobile. This one unfortunately doesn't work well. I use 21 ultra and fold 5.

@Nikklol This might be because of labels, try removing them
