hello guys, today i am here to tell a small story that just happened. this here above is my magnificent entry for the duna mobile base mission i had. 8 kerbals, 6k LF capacity. and wheels, which would be added later in duna orbit (i hadn't researched em yet) to explain a bit more upon it: some science modules are located under the mk 1 plane cockpit. the part in the back is the transfer stage, then i also have a puddle connected to a docking port with fuel transfer allowed on. the back part with the parachutes and aerodynamic cones is there to be replaced with a ore refinery after i research it and i collect my mission. transfer went quite fine. gathered some research for the wheels after some docking technical difficulties i managed to dock on the wheels (only took me about 4-8 hours :P) i think it looks pretty nice. it might be not 100% super practical since its assymetry and stuff but i find it important to make my craft look a little nice and unique. now for the hard part, which compared to the rest wasn't that hard but still pretty hard. because as you can see my first attempt did not go so well second try went better. well now i have my duna mobile base where i wanted it to be. just need to fuel it up and collect my rewards. one slight problem however due to its weight and assymetric nature stacked atop of the fact these honestly just idiotic rover wheels inability to turn i can only turn one direction and cannot climb the slightest inclination. seriously who designed those wheels? how do i even use them if duna rejects them? anyways this is what i have been up to the last few days in ksp... well in the time i have written this i have come up with a way i will try it next time i will make the frame with wheels on one bit and the base i will stick ON TOP of it. like a tank and a turret.
