MSDP GitHub link: Mac33299/Mac-Sea-Dragon-Pack: A SFS Mods that aims to add the Sea Dragon Launch vehicle (github.com)

Release 1.0
There was also like 5 InDev pre-releases but we don't talk about that

Parts:

First stage Main engine

A really powerful engine (has unique start-up animation that occurs only on the first time the engine is turned on, which also effect thrust btw)

Second stage Main engine

A not a powerful, but more efficient engine (also has a unique start up animation that occurs only on the first time the engine is turned on, no effect on thrust tho) (has an extending nozzle that only extends on the engine being activated, but won't retract afterwards, can be manually extended in the build menu for other uses other than sea dragon)

TVC engine (Thrust Vector Control engine)

A not so powerful engine, compared to the others, but provides significant amount of control torque (also has a start-up animation) (comes with optional Aerocover settings)

first stage and second stage fuel tanks

Hold fuel.... Idk what else to say

Second stage engine cover

goes directly on top of the second stage engine (don't need clipping cheat for it) Provides more fuel for the second stage, and also includes mounting points for the TVC engine (the TVC detailing can be disabled for some reason)

Sea Dragon Stage separator

big and stronk

Sea Dragon Instrument Ring

Provides control (includes built in Weak payload separator)

Fairing Cap and Payload Bay Segment

for P a y l o a d

(Fairing Cap has optional Nose cone top)

Interiors

Sea Dragon First stage Recovery Unit

Built in Parachute and Drag flare.

Designed to work alongside BR-Apollo

I think adding massive RCS to the 2nd stage would be helpful for docking. The real Sea Dragon also had massive RCS thrusters.
Because the Sea Dragon is reusable, the second stage should be recoverable too.

There is no finalized Sea dragon RCS pod arrangements, how ever I still plan to add it by next update, along side a tanker module

Yes you are correct the Sea Dragon did plan to have second stage reuse, however the concept didn't make it far enough to give us an idea of how it would be achieved

True

I'm not how sure the second stage would be recovered, but It could be recovered using a flare or parachutes. I'm not sure.

Considering it's coming from orbital velocity, a drag flare is out of the question, the first stage drag flare is heat resistant but was only able to withstand re-entry from suborbital trajectory, the second stage would likely need a really big inflatable heatshield.

The second stage could have retrorockets and air-brake-heatshield panels like NEXUS?

As the guy that made the first sea dragon over 6 months ago, this is incredibly impressive. I love it. I think I'll use it to attempt to put Jamestown Base on the Moon.

Jamestown expansion, of course. Not the original.
