This is my SRB-X derived rocket. It’s not a direct replica of the rocket, and other than being one of the ugliest things I’ve ever seen, (other than SLS) this is just a concept of what I think it may have looked like. (Again not to scale, just a concept). Now this rocket is very interesting, the flimsy looking struts holding onto the strap on SRB’s, the massive fairing, and strange launch sequence where the core booster doesn’t not ignite upon liftoff. (Like the Titan series). anyways enough chit chat, here it is...

So let me know what you think about the SRB-X. It’s a very, let’s just say a most interesting rocket.

So this concept is about Auto-Detachable SRBs, or Asparagus Staging?

Anyway, I recommend putting the SRBs (or Boosters, cause I don’t think they run on solid fuel...) closer to the core, because that way they create less drag.

Edit: also, those vertical separators that hold the boosters, try to get rid of them as well on booster separation.

Looks like the central booster should be shortened and have lower struts.

A little bit of both

This is supposed to be more of a “concept/Derivative” instead of direct replica, so that is why there are multiple differences.
Like the small staging engines, the different struts, and the separation between the boosters, and the core that is longer.

Quick edit: this was also intended to bring something a little different to the table, unlike the constant flow of F9’s and Starship replicas.

You use that term, asparagus staging. I'm not sure it means what you all think it means

If I remember correctly means the lower stages are feeding up the upper ones, while they are all burning. So when the lower stages detach the upper ones are still fully fueled.

Edit: What I originally wrote was wrong. I hope now is fixed :)

Ohhh I remember this rocket!

It can be launched on normal space shuttle pad, thou 3 sticks of SRB is quite odd thou...
