Really like the look of this Mod, I've been playing a career with RSS and struggling to get past LKO largely because of funding, stock contracts are offering me around 100k for missions that will take at least 80k to complete which is why I came looking for contract mods. however when I put the RSS config file that comes with the mod in it seems to get rewritten to the original version when I load my save, I think I saw someone else mention it but couldn't see an answer. Any help with this, or general help with getting funds in RSS would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Thanks for all the advice! Sounds like building the rover to return to orbit around Duna as a whole is going to be easiest, hopefully I can design it so I can then detach the other bits from it before the trip back to Kerbin. Would wings reduce the delta-v needed or just complicate things? main reason for the MPL is to hold surface samples from each biome without needing a lot of command pods. the hitchiker to be honest was unnecessary role playing so will ditch that when adding fuel and engines. might have to wait to the weekend to execute all this but will let you know how it plays out.

Hi everyone, Had KSP for a couple of months and making my first post. Still on stock and planning to be for a bit longer. I have a mission in mind, to take a manned rover with an MPL to Duna, visit all the biomes collecting data and samples and then return it all to Kerbin, I have so far landed one Kerbal on Duna and returned him so have some experience with bits of this. My Rover consists of just a Mk2 cockpit, the Mk2 to 2.5 adapter, a hitchiker, an MPL and docking port on the back all horizontal plus the experiments and 2 pairs of the XL wheels. I've just spent all evening trying to work out a way to retrieve the MPL from the rover onto something with a rocket but not have to take the whole rover back to orbit. My initial plan was one or more rockets on wheels that would attach to the MPL via docking ports and then detach it from the rest of the rover but this seems at least very difficult if not impossible on Kerbin so I don't back myself to manage it on Duna. So does anyone have any ideas? Or has done something similar before? one thing I just thought of is having another MPL on the ship that goes down and meets the rover at it's final location, collects all the samples and science and returns to orbit, but it feels "cleaner" somehow to be able to return the rover MPL to orbit. thanks for any advice in advance, Pokethis
