The standard is normal difficulty yes, which is the original game mode. Hard or realistic are accepted if you want an extra-challenge however.
The original rule is "no mod", since modding is still a recent thing, but I guess we can accept this one. This is not something we had much the opportunity to discuss, but we would obviously reject any game changing mod like custom engines for example.

I assume for the reusability mission for team Hawk? We are in the team Titan instructions thread...
We never thought about such possibility before to be honest. The spirit of the rule is that bp editing is allowed as long as you don't get an unfair advantage from it ("unfair" in the sense "that breaks physics"). Using the extra-length of stretched solar panels is fair to me in this sense (drag is still proportional to the exposed surface in the end), but stretched panels don't have their mass increased in proportion. This could be fair if you add some ballast to compensate. What's your opinion Mooncrasher ?

X and Y are multipliers, if X is 2 for example, that means it's stretched 2x in the X direction. So the mass that it ought to be is 2x.
Then you work out how much mass that is, and subtract the original mass that's already there, and boom, that's how much ballast you need.
Although you can't do stretching in the team mission, this is still a handy tip for regular play to do it properly.

Why is no engine heat not allowed what if my build simulates rows of engines?
Like I can understand someone stacking 400 titans and going to the moon like that, but I'm asking if I could use it for like 4 engines stacked so I don't need a super wide rocket. The build I have has 2 titans and 2 frontiers on the core stage, 4 hawks and 2 titans on each side booster, and 7 frontiers on the second stage. Mainly for speeding through with the mission and aesthetics. Plus the rocket is super heavy so I need the engines like that
here's a flight that I did before

Sorry but no, this is clearly an abuse. Heat management is an important problem in rocketry. The same as you can't remove gravity, drag or disable fuel consumption, you can't remove heat from engines, it's part of the game.
By the way you don't have 400 Titan engines, but you still have 6 Titan, 8 Hawk and 2 Frontier that you ignite at lift-off, this is 3560 tons of thrust in total. This is overkill, you don't need such a big rocket. A rocket powered by a single Hawk can largely do the mission.
Don't misunderstand me, you can complete the mission with an overkill rocket, you would still get the badge. But this is an official challenge, you still have to follow the rules.

sorry to annoy. Can someone reply to this? Titan Entry
