I have added lights and more RCS Thrusters to the Vessel. Also, i have concluded testing the Max Lift capabilities. The Max weight is over 100,000kg but, you can only get into an 80km Orbit with that much weight. Adding boosters will increase the Orbit height. the new file is uploaded As the Mk1a version.
