Hi,
since I did promise to put up something soon, I uploaded a "SpaceX Starship (WIP)" package to OH:
It certainly isn't really finished - autopilot RCS functions need tweaking (can be jittery, unstable with time-acceleration), boostback fuel reserve estimates and ASDS placement not very accurate for steeper ascent profiles, etc.etc.
Upper Stage "Skydive-and-Landing" autopilot works OK with no wind but doesn't always make it home with wind on.
Haven't even started on a Reentry autpilot yet.
BocaChica base needs work, as does the launch tower, etc.etc.
It will put 100T in 200km LEO (booster RTLS mode) and 170T in expendable mode (but would you want to throw away all that hardware? ;-)
You need between 10% and 7% fuel reserve for booster RTLS (depending on ascent profile), and 4% for EDL-only landing on ASDS.
Launch Control panel will be familiar to Falcon9 add-on users, Upper Stage has a lot of functions (see doc/readme).
Anyway, it's there if anyone wants to mess around with it
Cheers,
Brian
P.S. In view of the latest NASA HLS proposals, and @francisdrake 's fine Moonship add-on, I figured I'd make a "Tanker" variant asap.
