If you go with manual landing, bring asas, rcs and follow a descent path profile to avoid over speeding.

Here is mine:
100000mt burn to zero your lateral speed, vertical speed <800. Height <50000 keep speed below <500.
20000v< 300.
 10000v<150
5000<100.
1000< 50.
 500<10.

Then watch your shadow!

How far could you fly with that, sordid?

I haven't tested it fully yet. The previous design on which it's based could comfortably make it to the second space center.

50 space bucks to the first person who records a video of a spaceplane taking off from the starting space center, circling the world, bombing the URSS space center, and then returning to land safely all set to 'Ride of the Valkyries' and uploaded to Youtube.

Bonus points if it looks like an actual bomber.

Honestly, this game should be renamed "Flight Simulator Space". Everyone makes planes now.

Planes  give you faster gratification, I guess? You don't have to coast through space for minutes when you're flying through the atmosphere.
Also, planes are more familiar to people (than rockets).

So... I fired up the rockets on my latest space plane... and it immediately started going backwards, and ended up accelerating to 50m/s in reverse.

I have no idea why.

Yah, it sounds like minecraft with content, you have obviously missed the point, people dont like content, they like different coloured blocks.

Seems to work fine with my copy. As soon as I loaded the human caravan came by and the world burst into fire.
