Note: I had to drain the probes fuel for the final burn. The weight is 254t because I use 1.4 and there is mass difference.

Mass of probe in 1.4 is 24 ton
If you add seperator between fuel tank and capsule
The waight will still 24 ton

And using fuel from probe is not allowed
So waight of probe will not be 25 tons

It is 26.2t. But still there are 10x 25t in 250t so it should be 1.2t x 10 so 12 t added to 250 right?but i am not sure so to know the mass someone should recreate the same in 1.5.

I will not drain fuel again.(NO fuel from probe is hard. I did dozen tomes but without success.) Thank you for saying.

Um, no. Nononono.
We told you that because of the probe being 1.2t heavier thanks to 1.4 oddities, you may have an extra 1.2t of launch mass.
That means your launch mass should be 251.2t or less. NOT 12t more.
However, I'm just finding out that this challenge in 1.4 has more problems than expected... Please bear with us for a little bit while we investigate.


And space pilot is correct that you may not drain fuel from the probe.

You can't remove fuel from the probe, and it is specified in the rules. Why not? Because if you do so, the probe will no longer weight 25 tons (or 26.1 in your case).

And what's about the +1ton

This tank in 1.4 doesn't loose its fuel when you connect it to a smaller part. That's where the extra 1t comes from, I should have foreseen it...

sfs 1.4 if you've been waiting to hear about this, sorry for the delay, I forgot.
After some testing:
  1. for this challenge, because drag is so broken in 1.4, you do NOT need to exit and resume before launch to fix the drag bug. Just fly normally with the drag bug in effect. (And no sandbox cheats are allowed of course, to be clear. I'm just talking about the 1.4 drag bug that happens when you go straight from buildscreen to launch)
  2. We know the supplied probe has a mass of 26.2t in 1.4. It's fine, don't try to fix it. Just stay within the new launch mass limit of 251.2t.
  3. Aside from that, just follow all the other rules of the challenge.

Hmmmm. The engine of the second stage could be a Valiant. If that doesn't work redistribute the fuel, and use more stages.

Yes, that's the old name for Valient.
In general, frontier is not good. Your boosters should have hawks, and upper stages broadswords.
