I know you are currently looking for a fuel shuttle, but I'm new to this series and wanted to share a high speed rover design with you. Name: Cheetah Mass: 5.26 Tons (4.49 after removal of counterweight) Parts: 56 (49 without counterweight) Screenshots here: http://imgur.com/a/UtNFw#0 The cheetah has a top speed of 30 m/s on the mun. Unlike many rovers, this one is stable at these high speeds if used correctly. The Cheetah features a proprietary Kerbal Proof Pneumatic Orientation Stability System (KPPOSS, otherwise known as landing struts) to help prevent flips. It seats one kerbal. It's docking port is on the top, so I have provided an adapter that will make it compatible with your standard height docking ports. It does have the ability to lift off of the ground using RCS thrusters. I have tested this docking on both kerbin and the mun using the basic rover with which you set the standard, and have found that it works on both planets. In order to ensure quality performance, please read the operating instructions below. I suggest quicksaving when you get the rover to the moon, as it can take a few minutes to get the hang of it. HOW TO DRIVE THE CHEETAH: 1. You MUST be in docking mode to drive this rover in a stable manner. 2. When driving at high speeds (>10 m/s) the ASAS should be enabled, and steering on the back wheels should be locked 3. When braking, deploy the landing struts. I have tested this, and was able to slam on the brakes at 21 m/s without flipping. 4. As you encounter changing terrain, tap F to reset the ASAS, and if, at any point feel as if the rover is about to tip, immediately activate the ASAS if it is not already. 5. I advise against driving at high speeds with the solar panels deployed, just in case of tipping. If you do find yourself upside down, the legs are easily capable of reorienting you. Action groups: 1: Toggle steering lock on back wheels 2: Lower front legs 3: Lower back legs 4: Deploy solar panels I hope you like it!
