My suggestion for helping it work, nacelles. Front nacelles could help your thrust problem, and if you have the patience to make it work, use robotic parts to rotate the nacelles. You’ll have less lifting engines being dead weights during ascent and the extra power to push through the atmosphere, at the cost of dealing with robotics

Y'know... I've seen Stratzenblitz75 make craft LIKE this. But even he has to compromise by having them have extra Booster and fuel packs. He got an entire Heli-carrier (yes - like the Avengers SHIELD Helicarrier) to Laythe and had it hovering indefinitely in the skies of Laythe. But he had to have an almost ridonkulously huge set of rube goldberg-esque fuel tankage and extra engines to make it work. And that's NOT what you're after. Maybe more instructive would be the GIANT Submarine he lifted to Laythe under it's own power with no extra tankage. But even THERE it required a stop at Minmus for a long extraction and refuel op.

for the doors you could use docking ports. make it so that they dock when the door closes and undock when you want to open it. that is how i usually keep moving parts solid when i want to. also maybe a rocket trajectory would be better for this ship? (basically straight up) using a more shallow angle is usually only good for ships that use lift and/or airbreathing engines and both are not the case here. i think put a few more engines at the front to flip the nose up and then activate main engines. lastly using propellers to get off the ground might be a good idea?

Also - have you considered the B9 XL part set? This is a subset of the classic B9 Aerospace parts that features GIGANTIC single parts that might help you cut down on the part count while still allowing you to build something HUGE like what you are going for. It's a part set almost purpose made for making things like Macross or Battlestar Galactica scale ships. I've rarely seen anybody REALLY GO FOR IT and try to make something practical with that part set. But if anyone MIGHT make it work, it might be you!

I know Vaos prefers strictly 100% stock, and even uninstalled two visual mods to maintain this. But, for the sake of mental health, using XL parts to make an XL vessel makes sense to me. This vessel isn't being entered in any competition, and sharing the craft file would only require installing a single mod. Good idea Logan!

Your design is still doable, even moreso, the original one without the VTOL. You're basically trying to do a horizontal launch, but you need to think of it more as a space shuttle, and you need a large amount of rockets and boosters for this to work. You can always jettison them later. A good rule to remember is that you need a solid thrust to weight ration, and 2 to 1, 2 pounds of thrust for every 1 pound of weight. Start there, and work up to a 3,4, or 5 to 1 ratio if need be. What makes your ship look ugly now can always be jettisioned later. You can still do this!

Are you sure using an SSTO trajectory is ideal for Vector engines? You could pernaps try more of a rocket-like trajectory (although there would be a lot of drag). Putting the engines on swivels could help with that if you transition mid flight, but then you wouldn't be able to have the awesome recessed bays for them. Really cool craft and I hope you manage to get it to orbit!
