It's a dog. I needed a quick and dirty long ago. I haven't built this thing forever.

@Spaceman Your more recent work is outstanding.. Id let this really old one fade away ;P

This is a really old design that I haven't thought about for quite some time, mostly because I've replaced it with much more capable designs. But it worked well then to get me to space with enough components to establish an off-world base for processing uranium and platinum.

Thanks. I hope it works well for you.

Maybe he was looking at the numbers for the large Grid hydro engines? Either way, Lovely design.. Ill be using one, or more of these, too ;)

I don't know where you get your numbers, but I played using all "realistic" settings to get the lowest available fuel capacity and was able to get to space easily. Five seconds? Yeah, no. I'm not sure what you're doing.

4 hydro engines + 1 tank = 5 sec of fuel
how should I get to space with it?
