When calculating the launcher size required for a two-stage missile, does it take into account the size of both stages, eg. Stage one is size 5 and stage two is size 5 therefore you need a size 10 launcher, or does it only take into account one of them, eg. in the above example a size 5 launcher would be needed. Are there any additional important or unintuitive mechanics about multi-stage missiles I should be aware of?
When you design the booster stage and add the second stage, the missile design takes it into account and lists the total size for the missile in the design parameters window.
