Here’s my smallest space shuttle my second smallest rocket
And my largest rocket a Falcon heavy
Since sharing is a thing now, i recommend you use it. Its way easier than posting bp files :)

You want big rockets? Well, I have a few ones.

Here is the Obsidian:
Spaceflight Simulator_2022-04-23-00-10-35.jpg
A rocket built for performance, it can lift 100 tons to LEO in realistic mode.
But this one is just as tall as what the build space allows, I have bigger of course.

Here is the mythical SSSLS:
Spaceflight Simulator_2022-04-23-00-20-07.jpg
That launcher is a super launcher, it can easily send more than 1000 tons to orbit in one launch. That launcher has acquired a troll reputation after I used it to launch other people's launchers to orbit (sometimes further).

Here, its payload is Zeeray13's Merlin-7C. He didn't like that I launch his reusable rocket to Alpha Centauri :p

But I'm still playing nice there. Here is the SSSSSLS:
Spaceflight Simulator_2022-04-23-00-26-25.jpg
Some people built launchers that were too heavy for the SSSLS so that I can't troll them, this was my response. Even if you filled all your build space with fuel tanks, the SSSSSLS could send them all to space.

Here is a demonstration of its power:

I've heard that the NASA still has some problems with the SLS, so I'll give them a hand:

Now that the SLS is in Moon orbit, it's time to land it on the Moon:

I proposed the concept to the NASA, strangely they didn't like it... :rolleyes:

But this is still not my biggest creation, here comes...
Spaceflight Simulator_2022-04-23-01-02-02.jpg

The Spartan! The only launcher that can compare with the mythic Komodo.

Actually that one was not necessary, other players stopped long ago to try to prevent me from launching their launchers. It was rather designed to reach orbit when starting from Jupiter, I didn't have a launcher to do that. Here is the post where I did this: Launching from saturn

Of course, on Earth it's totally overpowered. I generally don't use it, my phone don't like it when I... Oh shit, I clicked by mistake!
Spaceflight Simulator_2022-04-23-01-02-45.jpg
Well, let's see where it goes...
Spaceflight Simulator_2022-04-23-01-32-06.jpg Spaceflight Simulator_2022-04-23-01-32-16.jpg
The launcher gained so much speed that by the time I finish burning the fuel, the capsule was already close from reaching the Moon... From there, it only took a couple minutes to enter the Moon's SOI:

Then, escaping the Solar system:

It was a little brutal :p

Woah so many engines and I thought the SSSSSLS was really big.

Yeah, that one is really really big. But it's not of much use in practice. It was designed for Jupiter for a challenge, but on Earth it's just a stupidly oversized launcher with an absurd number of engines. It weighs 94185 tons, has a TWR of 3.2 at lift-off, and has no payload capacity. The SSSSSLS is much more interesting, this one was designed to send heavy loads. Even if ironically I rarely need such a capacity :p

Komodo was more bigger than that, a scary one :p
True, the Komodo is actually bigger. I said the Spartan can compare with it, but because it has a similar number of engines. But as mine is designed for Jupiter's gravity it's logically lighter.

Nice shuttle collection by the way.

Well my biggest rocket is shitty shuttle B3, it can bring like 500 tonnes to orbit, no problem

My smallest rocket is also a shuttle,

Oh and there was this little guy called 'trolling Altaïr with his own launcher'

The smallest and biggest rockets that were at least a little prominent are:

Smallest one - Replica of IRL-33 Amber (IRL-33 Bursztyn) from ACRC 2.0 collection.

It's a tiny suborbital sounding rocket with max apogee of around 6500 meters. It can be recovered by using parachutes attached to it on the top.

Largest one - Tmabyt (TtMaBTT - To the Moon and Back Two Times).

The base of the rocket is a good ol' Lech launch vehicle developed not a long time after 1.5 came out, however i choose this variation of it since its larger.

This rocket has one simple but at the same time hard goal - land and return from the Moon two times while using one rocket.

As you can see on top of it as a miniature recreation of a Saturn V rocket, this rocket lands on the Moon and then lands back on Earth from which it then launches and does a standard Apollo mission.

And now a comparison of those two (IRL-33 Amber in a red circle):

Note: Its more than likely that during my 2.5 year history with SFS i had constructed smaller or bigger rockets, however size of whole SFS application is more than a GB at this point with thousands of blueprints so finding the true winners would be a very very long task.
