1.35, you have to launch the craft into a PERFECT 35 x 35 orbit, you may use cheats to do so. Once you are there, you have to turn off all cheats, and only then your mission starts. How you get to a perfect orbit is none of our business.
The total payload is 300t. As long as it is separated from the rocket at the end and it has no engines or RCS, we don't care if you make it from tanks or struts, square or poodle shaped, it really doesn't matter. One build screen, 300t reaches orbit, no cheats. End of story.
Ooh. I’ve been toying with the idea of going for all of the Hawk badges. I think I’ll do it during break coming up. Just got to finish a few more days of school.
