Review by GrunfWorks

Parts are describes correctly here, which I think is very nice.

Though... LTS-1 side tanks were abused again... They were specially designed to provide asparagus fueling capability to LTS-1 system and not as rover attachments.

Review by Kottabos Gaming

It's 0.6.4 version thus some nasty bugs are seen.

Blister decouplers are for boosters, not for engines.

Also don't follow Kottabos style of attaching LTS Mk1. Side tanks must be strapped on Core tank side nodes. Strictly in couples. That's it.
