You know those "Aluminum" in your rocket pumps? You can't remove them with Carbon Fiber, they represent the magnets and wires in the electric motor that drives the pump

New requirement : The liner need to carry at least 100 tons of cargo. Challenging , right?

First attempt. It has 10km/s deltaV in LOX-LH2 rockets and 7km/s more deltaV in a Hydrogen NTR. Max acceleration with LOX-LH2 Rockets is 600mg, enough to kick it out of a deep gravity well. Dry acceleration with NTR is 360mg, which should be enough for slowing down. Crew cabin, fuel tanks, and all reaction wheels are UHMWPE. Radiators, hull, turbopumps, and rocket engines are amorphous carbon. Radiation shield is made from polyethylene. None-carbon-hydrogen materials used are 8.4kg U-235 Oxide in and 1.4kg boron-nitride control rods in the NTR, 100g u-235 oxide and 100g boron-nitride control rods in fission reactor. The amount of thermocouple material used seemed negligible, seeing how the reactor itself is only 1.5kg and the thermocouple materials showed up as almost invisible slices in the pie chart. I didn't attempt Homecoming, but my previous attempt with another ship used 11.5km/s of deltaV at 200mg, so this ship should have enough.

I am glad to see that the first attempt of my challenge come up that quick~ But can you send me the code for final check? I don't mean I don't trust you , just to ensure~ And I thought I would find something like plastic rocket engine , but never mind~

Here it is. There's some gold plating on the radiators that i didn't remove because I was using the radiators for something else. Radiators will still work without the gold. Attachments:Titan Ship.txt (5.54 KB)

Thanks~ BTW i planned to send my own design in these two day , but I have to get rid of my homework now so I may have to send it tomorrow~

My own design~ (BTW it also help me to get gold on homecoming~) The only part using "other material" is the 8.75 kg 100 kw reactor~ Ttian Liner.txt (3.53 KB)

When I started the challenge, I thought I have to carry a lot of people and added a 100 crew module in it, but it turns out nobody is doing it. How could you classify your ships as liners?
Also, do I have to use kN level NTRs because I don't want to use nuclear grade fuel in my NTRs? Nobody these days use combustion rockets anymore!

It is cheap and Terra government wouldn't support us if we are holding too much HEU that can be used to vaporize their capital city...

I am making a level cutscene for this challenge, and it appears that it is impossible to make one without having everyone naming their ship the same. For now, I'll use the stock passenger liner.
