Launch from land or sea! Max load is around 300,000kg.
This version is XML modded to be close to the original design. Specifically the main engines on both stages. They had to be modded to be bigger than the allowed size.
This (should be) the last "public" update for a bit. I will continue but only public release major updates.
Note: It has a small bug where it wants to drift north. This will throw your inclination off. The next version will fix that fingers crossed.
Quick flight
- RCS (default off) to on
- Begin stage 1 (solid dumb booster)
- At approx. 150-200 m/s, turn the rocket eastward
- Continue to tilt it to 0 degrees eastward (note: it drifts north for now) until the dumb booster stops
- From here on, monitor your apogee and keep it around 30s before you reach it
- Engage stage 2 (engines will be ready to fire)
- Full throttle for a while (2-3 minutes I think right now) tiliting up or down to keep the apogee 30-10s ahead of you until you circularize your orbit
It's a bit late so I'll try to fix any text mistakes later.
Enjoy!

I love the design philosophy of making the biggest, dirtiest rocket you can possibly imagine. It remains a total mystery (not even the slightest inkling) why the Sea Dragon was never built
