Tanker at work

Picking up ALL remaining flying contracts

All that is left now are surface contracts, it's time to design a flying rover.

Let's go home...

Can’t wait to see what you come up with this flying rover thing

I think it will be something like this:

[Triop]

Ok, just finished my design, this time we will be able to retrieve our buggy.

Retracting the gear to hook up the buggy.

Lock.

Gear up.

Ready for first test flight.

TBC

[Triop]

1st testflight was a failure, the jet just won't climb, so we added canards (I don't like canards).

2nd testflight was a success.

TBC

[Triop]

Remember we send out Val in a rover to fish for contracts ?

It worked.

They call that "near" ???

Aye, same!

[Triop]

I thought this would be easy, so I've sended out a small jet 600 LF.

Turns out the contract had 6 points to clear, and not 1....

Looks like the game is fishing too, and I caught the bait, leaving me stranded on the other side of the planet because of low fuel...

Fishing is going well though, 2nd contract.

Allways read the contract first...

Should we go and rescue Jeb ? Or shall we just recover him ?

[KerballingSmasher]

hmm... I'd just take the recovery cost hit and then send him out again.

Yeah, I don't feel like wasting the time aswell...

We'll recover him and send him out....With moarrr fuel this time.

[Triop]

SHOPPING !

We could use more science stuff.

Let's go get some science around the base.

[KerballingSmasher]

So what's next?

We got Jeb to the DA, getting loads of science from the runway, so we need the jet returned for process.

So we will send out Danlan with a tanker.

We are done fishing, I don't like these contracts, it's not worth it. So we recovered Val and her car1.

TBC

[Triop]

We are only giving enough fuel to Jeb to get home, we might need to refuel other crafts later.

The tanker will stay here for now.

Heading home now, with lots of science.

TBBC

 

[Triop]

COMING HOME

Lots of fuel left.

71.9 science points

The remaining contracts, all on the surface:

FLIGHT of the ROVER

On our way to the Southpole for our first real rover mission.

It's very slow, around 270 m/s, we might have to redesign the jet.

Sunrise

Still a long way to go.

Hope I can land safe there...
