Auto Credit Based on FlyingThings's SSTO-Challenge

(SSTO challenge rocket) The cruiser IV is a heavy rocket that uses only rocket engines via modded cleavers to propel it. The Cruiser IV uses no fuel for thrust, only for the vtol engine that feeds to the RCNs. This rocket is very slow because of the overall weight plus the engines themselves so lauch is slow until you reach about 60,000 feet. The cruiser IV is not completely stable in space, but it is so slow that it can easily be fixed. (Can I get creadit for making it so ugly lol)
