I have a question, can the rover use the claw to dock to the base on Mun STS-2?

1.
Add in game random generated shop with parts, economy and currency. (i.e. trading).
Good example is Empyrion - Galactic Survival, No'Man Sky, X Rebirth/X4 Foundation, 7days to die.2.
Abandoned various ships and buildings randomly generated.
So that they can be robbed and taken to their my base.
Good example is Empyrion - Galactic Survival, No'Man Sky, Astroneer, Space Enginers.Because it's interesting.
I don't really support this idea because it's not what KSP or KSP2 was intended to be.
If I can be blunt, if this what KSP2 will be like, I wouldn't buy it.

It's time for another episode of...
Flying Fuel Tanks! This is your host... Jebediah Kerman, talking about the latest launch to Outlook station. Here is Gus Kerman on the mission.
Hey all! I'm here to talk about our latest mission, Outlook Station Fuel Tank #4!
After waiting for the correct launch window, the launch site is alligned with the station.
We have liftoff ofanother uneventful fuel tank launchexciting mission.
the launch site had heavy cloudcover as it ascended.
Stage separation confirmed!
Stage separation.
The payload is revealed, revealing the same payload I have used for 4 missions.
Orbit!
After creating a burn that will put us back on a close intercept with the station, we did a small plane change.
The spacecraft now has a intercept of 0.1km
There was a problem in the avionics, so we started the burn a little late, so we needed to compensate for it.
Stage separation confirmed!
The spacecraft has almost docked...
aaannnd we are docked!
The tug separated from the station,
the tug reentered over the desert,
and splashed down into the ocean, making a radioactive No Go zone for kilometers away.
And that's it for flying fuel tanks! This has been Jebediah kerman, signing off.
(If you want me to continue flying fuel tanks, I will. If you don't I won't).

Thank you for 500 views readers!
(sorry if I sound full of myself).

I have a question, regarding areocaptures... by areocapture do you mean doing what I did in my previous mission Mun STS-1, reentering several times to slow down, or one large areobreak, to slow down into a low orbit and then land?

That was fast
Landing a shuttle on the mun can be quite challenging but you made it look like any other standard mun mission, well done!
Interesting construction for the research facility, you are probably the first who build it in form of a rover
For future interplanetary missions, please do me a favor and add a screenshot of your shuttle during the aerobreak, at least the first one. It's a very critical moment during these missions and it can be quite difficult to hit the "sweetspot", where you break just enough to get captured but don't burn up in the atmosphere.
I have no doubt you made it, especially since your shuttle is pretty lightweight and there is no way you can burn up during this trip with a Pe of 60km around kerbin, but if you skip this phase in the mun missions already, you'll probably skip it during other missions as well
Anyway, congratulations to your new badge
Welcome back to KSP
Your shuttle looks promising and I'm certain you'll be able to teach the ground crew how the booster should be attached to the orbiter in a way, it can be separated
Good job on lithobreaking just enough to get rid of the unnecessary parts without flipping the whole thing around. If you didn't loose a wing, this would actually qualify you for a badge but it's probably not the best start into this challenge^^
Thanks for sharing this first impression, looking forward to your first actual entry
Thank you for the badge, but I am pretty sure that that is a Commander badge, and I didn't qualify for that, I only did the pilot mission.

The fourth module of Outlook Station, Outlook Station Fuel Tank #3 is ready for launch!
We have liftoff!
We have just crossed over to the Federational park.
Stage separation. We dropped them over the park, but hopefully their momentum will bring them over the park.
Fairing separation.
Core stage separation.
Orbit!
Preparing to slow down to 0 m/s relative to the station.
Roughly 400m away from the station.
Here we are! The module has reached it's final stop at outlook station.
Stage separation.
Coming in for the final approach.
Docked!
Now as for the tug, it was set to splash down at the Attica sea, but due to some improbable luck...
It exploded on a small stretch of land roughly a kilometer wide. Now that is a precision landing!

The third module of outlook station is ready for launch.
We have liftoff of Outlook Station Fuel Tank #2
A nearby aircraft took this picture of the rocket flying over the park.
Stage separation of the boosters (long after they had run out).
Fairing separation.
The second separation has successfully separated.
If you look closely you can see the station.
We are very close to the station.
Coming in for our final approach!
Docked!
The tug has separated from the station.
Now that I think about it, I think that the core module is too short. We may need an extra module...
As for the tug, it deorbited and was set to land in the ocean to the east of the KSC.
Reentry. I don't know if you can see it, but down there is the KSC peninsula.
Splashdown! We left the toxic waste for the military to clean up.

Thanks for the badge!
Yes, the service module did have puff engines.
Actually, I have managed to land planes without front wheels before, one I had a mk2 space plane which front landing gear was on a cargo bay, and the game thought it was inside the cargo bay, so I landed it without a landing gear. The trick is to lower the velocity down to under 40 m/s and use the cockpit to absorb all of it's energy, then use the other landing gear to do the rest.
I think I'll do the Mun Missions, by the way, can I go back to the STS-9 mission if I start the mun missions?

The second module of Outlook station is ready for launch!
Outlook Station Fuel Tank 1 has liftoff!
Lifting up, up, and up.
About 16 km up the rocket ran into a problem. The SRB's had run out, but we were still over the park. The mission operators had to keep the boosters on until the rocket passed the park.
The booster has finally shed the SRBs.
The core stage has separated.
Payload reveal.
Orbit!
After a day of chasing the station, we have finally gotten close to it.
Roughly 700 meters out from the station.
100 meters out from Outlook Station.
Stage separation.
The tank is coming in for it's final approach.
Docked!
The tug has separated.
As the tug reentered, terra station could be visible.
At this point, the mission operators had realized that they would be splattering radioactive material all over the crash site, so they tried to soft land it with the RCS thrusters, but they weren't powerful enough to slow it down.
But in a
completely unexpected flukecarefully planned and flawlessly executed maneuver, the probecore and RTG survived, so the tug can be properly cleaned up. -
I have a question. By "Science labs" in the STS 5-8 mission, does it require a Mobile Processing Lab MPL-LG-2 or can you just stick a hab on and call it a science lab? Also, do you have to launch the modules in a specific order in STS 5-8?

Outlook station's first module is going up! It's launching from Tut-Un Jeb-Ahn Launchsite boarding a Federational park, so dropping fuel tanks on it would irreparably damage the park, plus damage the Polaris Initiative's reputation among the Desertian Federate.
We have liftoff of Outlook Station Core.
There is Tut-Un Jeb-Ahn off in the upper right corner. We can't drop stages on those mountains.
Aerial view of the Tut-Un Jeb-Ahn Mountains, home of a prehistoric civilization of kerbals, dating back to before the great Catastrophe 40,000 years ago.
Stage separation, luckily clear of the park.
Reaching Apogee.
Stage separation and payload reveal.
Orbit!
Separation of the second stage.
Solar Panel Deployment.

What? You can't drop massive cylinders of metal containing rocket fuel residue onto ancient monuments anymore? What is the world coming to? For... 57 years according to your OP... damage from tanks has been one of the best methods of dating - more accurate than carbon dating by a factor of 10!
Of course, you could always just add a couple of parachutes. But that would be boring.
I would like this if I could. *Like

The Polaris Initiative was in a bad spot.
The Polaris Initiative needed a launchpad closer to the equator to make launches to the Mun easier. There were only three options.
KSC: Which was a fortress that held out for 87 years of the great war, before the soldiers dying out from starvation. It was repossessed by the military before the KSP was formed, and when the KSP became the OKSP, the military base was used as a launch site. The military fought long and hard to keep the base, but ultimately lost. They weren't giving up their prize. The Polaris Initiative tried though, but failed quickly.
Tut-Un Jeb-Ahn Launch site: It is not privately owned, and is currently used as a base for missile tests, but since the KSC was repossessed, now the site is defunct. It's not on the equator, but is closer than Woomerang, but apparently you can't drop fuel tanks down onto the ruins of Tut-Un Jeb-Ahn, so a little maneuvering may be required.
Eventually, the Tut-Un Jeb-Ahn Launch site was chosen, Outlook station will be launched from there.

Multiplayer probably will be on the consoles, I am not sure about mods though.

Do you have EVE installed? Sorry if you did, it is not very clear whether you did.

This is what my next station, Outlook is going to look like. It has 8 modules, and will be the last major mission of Phase 1.
it is intended to be a refueling outpost in the place of Terra, which is a science station and won't be used very much at all. This station will serve as a fuel hub for Interplanetary SSTOs.

We will soon be clearing the Woomerang mountains.
We have cleared The Woomerang mountains, down there is the woomera cliff.
