Description

Tardigrades known colloquially as water bears or moss piglets are a phylum of eight-legged segmented micro-animals. They are known to be very resilient to survive in the most extreme places.

This is why it’s a perfect analog and name to the KDF’s off-world explorations and mission-specialized vehicle.

The Tardigrade takes its build and shape from the micro animal itself.
Comes with enough cargo storage room for medium-sized missions off-planet and even on-planet.

Different features include -

• Grab unit on piston arm in front (mapped to j,k keys, and grabber unit AG6)
• Full Gold Coating Hexa-glass windows (for extra protection from heat)
• Separate cargo bay separated by activated tinted glass door panels (AG4 to open/close)
• Full electric fan engine system for atmospheric worlds like Kerbal (mapped to the Main throttle for fine-tune control)
• RCS clusters for low gravity control.
• Separate Reaction wheels in case of vehicle flip (mapped to AG1)

Action Group -

• AG1 Toggle on/off 6 advanced reaction wheels (turn off when normal driving)
• AG2 Toggle lights (separate from U key due to complications with Kerbal helmet lights)
• AG3 Toggle Cockpit Doors
• AG4 Toggle Cockpit Tinted Cargo Door
• AG5 Toggle Back Cargo Door
• AG6 Toggle Arm of Grabber Unit

 

Note Clamp-o-Tron jr dock port is on the back and is the root part. Use this to easily dock in a cargo unit to take off the world. (can barely fit in an MK3 cargo unit not recommended but can work but you won’t be able to drive in or out of it)

A stock aircraft called Tardigrade. Built with 259 of the finest parts, its root part is strutCube.

Built in the SPH in KSP version 1.12.2.
