Good to know. I'll keep that in mind!

Right on, I might give that a try. Thanks! One thing I forgot to mention, though: I'd prefer it not be attached to some other giant RAM-hogging mod. Ship Manifest doesn't look too bad, but IMO, the smaller the better.

Hi, Was hoping there might be a mod that would do this, but I would like to be able to jettison extra resources. Example: bringing a spaceplane with a RAPIER engine back to kerbin, and jettisoning unnecessary oxidizer to help with CoM. I know a little bit of C#, so I might make a mod myself that adds this function, but any chance anyone's done this already?

Here ya go. Gotta do it like this: [noparse][/noparse]

Decided to go look for the pyramids.

As others have mentioned go easy on the brakes for the Ruggedized wheels. The best technique (that works for me) is to repeatedly tap the brakes, rather than holding them down.

Continued working on this: My goal is to get it to the point where I can crash it all I want, and it'll still run. Not quite there yet.

The heck? Why would I want to initiate Kessler Syndrome every time I make it to orbit? Separating to two pieces is perfectly fine, thank you very much...

Italian, eh? So it looks beautiful, but breaks down every 20 feet?

While there's no one single rover solution, there are a lot of ideas you can incorporate. The biggest factors I've come across in regards to stability are thus: Keep center of mass low, (so it is less likely to barrel-roll on you) Keep wheels far apart, (the further apart, the more stable (usually)) Slow down for corners and ridges, (shouldn't have to explain why ) Add SAS! I recommend driving in Docking Mode, as that will separate your pitch commands from your "drive forward" commands. You can even go as far as to change up the key bindings to make it more comfortable. Don't get discouraged! It can be difficult, but the rewards are great

Also, I just might be putting together a new circumnavigation rover as well. Landin's been anxious to get back out into the countryside

It does have it's issues

Lately I've been on a 70's/80's streak... I usually set my Pandora to Electric Light Orchestra radio

Great update! I've (luckily) never encountered that breed of kraken you were running into, but at least you got it sorted out I agree: after driving in a vehicle all the way around Kerbin, you definitely develop a bond with it. My vehicle is currently parked in front of the Admin building on my main save. It's awesome to see it and remember how much I went through with it. Quite a feat As for the scary terrain, well, in the desert it's usually flat, and you can often spot trouble areas well in advance. When I plotted my course, I kept that in mind and tried to dip around the trouble areas, but (as you saw) I did get caught up in that one area. I considered driving back out and around when I realized where I was, but after a few quicksaves, I decided just to plow through at half speed. Even then, I broke more wheels along those couple km than any other part of the trip. >.< Oh! Before I forget, the VTOL was mostly stock, but the main piece keeping it functional was from Infernal Robotics: A hinge in the middle of the plane, to which the VTOL engine is attached. This allowed me to point it forward or backward without tipping the plane, leading to better control. Here's a (very) poorly illustrated example:

No, that doesn't sound suspicious at all!

LOL this is pretty great
