I'm working on a big spaceship similar in concept to the Nautilus X, and like the Nautilus X, it wouldn't be able to enter the atmosphere. Because of this, I decided to have smaller ships on it that can land and return to it, but I don't have too much experience with landers alone. Ideally I would want something that can land on and return to orbit from a planet with at atmosphere. It would require a delta-V of 8,000 in both directions to land on and take off of Eve, so that's unlikely, but I'd like it to at least be able to return from Laythe which would be about 2,000. Does anybody have any good designs for a lander/return craft like this? Even if it isn't exactly this, ideas would help me design something.

[COLOR=#333333]I'm having trouble scanning for ore in Sandbox mode. The M700, to the best of my knowledge, works perfectly. It shows ore concentration on the map as it should. However, after it scans, it automatically transmits its information, yet the tracking center claims that it has no data. Whenever I try again on the spacecraft, it works fine again. I've scanned Kerbin, the Mun, and Minmus, each with a separate spacecraft, and none of them work. I've seen a few other threads about similar issues, but they all seem to have been problems like not transmitting the data.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#333333]The other issue, is that the narrow-band scanner and the surface scanner doesn't seem to update anything or be "remembered" in any way. Is there some way to make it remember what I scan with these, or do I just have to try to remember it?[/COLOR]

I'm having trouble scanning for ore in Sandbox mode (I haven't tried yet in Career). The M700, to the best of my knowledge, works perfectly. It shows ore concentration on the map as it should. However, after it scans, it automatically transmits its information, yet the tracking center claims that it has no data. Whenever I try again on the spacecraft, it works fine again. I've scanned Kerbin, the Mun, and Minmus, each with a separate spacecraft, and none of them work. The other issue, which is probably me doing something wrong or simply doesn't exist, is that the narrow-band scanner and the surface scanner doesn't seem to update anything or be "remembered" in any way. Is there some way to make it remember what I scan with these, or do I just have to try to remember it?
