It would be cool to in the future have bigger spaceplane parts to go along with the bigger rocket parts.
What we have so far:
Mk1: Normal plane parts
Mk2: Supersonic/hypersonic plane parts (sr-71 style)
Mk3: Space shuttle parts

My suggestion for bigger parts:
Mk4: (easy to use) SSTO parts (Venturestar style, Star-raker style)
Mk5: Single stage interplanetary parts (Would maybe require orbital construction)
Mk6: "Single stage" interstellar parts for colony transfer (would need orbital construction)

Note: I don't fully know what Mk5 and Mk6 parts would be inspired by so feel free to come with ideas (you could also add to Mk4 obviously)

Why not make MK4 or MK5 based off Star Raker? It was a Rockwell concept from the 80’s after the shuttle started flying.

Maybe something like the KSPIE 1 peice ssto part?

#

like interstellar-style

mk5 should be even bigger though imo

or have MK 4 be a hybrid between both

mk5 should be more of a spaceship than a spaceplane in my opinion
