As you get more weight above the wheels, it helps less and less, I had two at one stage in an earlier heavier version, it seemed to be better without. Plus clipping and mk2 bays...uh uh - - - Updated - - - Haha, how stupid am I, the rover already has one, lol I just pulled it apart

Done it, and it's only unflippable on Kerbin, the current suspension can be tuned which is better - - - Updated - - - The first version was actually a mix

At the moment EVE and Scatterer, which I reinstalled recently, when I used scatterer a while ago on my Linux OpenGL system it was very buggy. Just for fun I tried it the other day and it works really well now.

I have ideas for a rebuild of the rover that will make it a lot lighter and more damage resistant, and also maybe handle a bit better, it needs to be really good or people will abandon it before it even gets started.

You can use lander legs to impart force but there will be no rotation

I think most people might put up with more time than me in a rover lol. I did a lot of testing recently and even started an elcano attempt (quickly abandoned) that ended in URD when I tested the x4 physics timewarp

Sounds good to me - - - Updated - - - I'm still concerned the real time drive length maybe offputting.

Yeah right now with stock, unless we stick a docking port on it that can attach to the rover, then with the new antennae comma in 1.1 a use might be found for it, maybe a mechjeb module for rover autopilot lol

I will fix up the links, the solar farm is included with the new hab module anyway. I have SAS on the hab module because a lot of the time it isn't oriented correctly when landing using hyperedit. There may be a way to reorient using hyperedit but I don't know it and including a reaction wheel is trivial. I was thinking about the small crater to the right/north of the anomoly canyon? A fellow aussie, 😎

Did some more work on the Hab Module, looking good I think, Interior needs completing and one more rover docking port (just a copy of the solar farm docking port). Updating the craft download on the first page. - - - Updated - - - added the rover docking port, will upload later, Inside is a science module, action group one deploys panels and ladders. It has SAS for landing. I still need to put a floor inside and some bunks and stuff, part count is still pretty low so there is room for some gribbles - - - Updated - - - It sometimes crashes my game, reverting, better recovering.

Would just like to thank you for bringing a little life into this. I must admit I was getting distracted from completing it. Cheers, SM

So now you have lifting capcity I"m waiting on a stock replica!

Sooooo....it's Thursday here, no pressure

Well done!

Yep a little side project for your sub

Good stuff, we should probably place the base closer to pathfinder, that should reduce the total trip significantly

Thnks for trying though

Thanks, I will check them out tomorrow. - - - Updated - - - Thanks mate, I will check that out tomorrow, if I remember it does not have the pobe core. I don't care too much about sojourner, but we may need the probe core (and antennae presumably)

Flag_decals found it on curse, just a part that uses whatever your mission flag is

Well mine have ranged from complete unfolding panels with rover on the panel to my latest which I think is even simpler than Yukon's, but I have to deploy the rover underneath the pod with a chute of it's own. Doesn't matter really I'm not going for authenticity on deployment on this (well not anymore anyway).

I've actually got enough stuff I could do a first flush test of the ground based part. I know there is lots of stuff to improve, the DAV is too tall, the DDV looks a bit too cobbled together. The Ares V needs work, I have about 15 Pathfinders, none of which are very good, the last one is the best but still needs work. I was going to tow the solar farm (rather than a second rover) but I think a modified rover with extendable panels might be better. The hab needs finishing. The torpedo doesn't work....um sorry wrong project.

Hard Mode, that's a good idea. It will still be a race either way, the Hermes is not waiting, theres no way to make it wait.

I can see from that top shot the two engines are not mirrored, whats happening there?
