Hi, I'm gonna post my mission with a reusable rocket.
1) The rocket:
I used a two stages rocket to launch a small satellite. The rocket is very oversized, because I need to have Fuel for reentry burn.

Here is the rocket:

The first stage use 3 Hawk and 6 clipped fuel tanks. It has landing legs , stabiliser, RCS and 4parachute who are replaceable.

The second stage use vaillant engines and has the same equipment as the first.

The payload is very small, 10t for a 300t rocket ( 3%). The Fairing is attached to it, so I don't have to make a cargo door.

2) Ground equipment:

I use one module to refuel / reassemble the rocket. It's composed of a big fuel tank anddrone, to recover the stages, add the Parachute and connect it to the tank. The drone also assemble the payload. I putted 2 Docking Port on the Fairing, so after reassembling I can destruct them: Screenshot_20220804-154734_Spaceflight Simulator.jpg Screenshot_20220804-154739_Spaceflight Simulator.jpg Screenshot_20220804-154741_Spaceflight Simulator.jpg

3) Flight plan:
I'm gonna fly vertically with the 1st stage, to make landing on the launchpad easier. I will use 70% of the fuel, so I could slow down during reentry.
The second stage will achieve orbit, deliver payload and desorbit to land the closest possible from the launchpad.
To reassemble the rocket, I will first bring the 1st stage to the tank, refuel it and add Parachute. I will then assemble 2nd stage, and put the parachutes and the Fairing.

I think that trick with the docking port destruction isn't allowed, it seems like damage, whether deliberate or not.
