Two rocket ships that might qualify: This one actually fly well but is of questionable design :-) This one is hot enough to pull 7.5 g's and get a reentry burn on the way up. Jedediah seems to be enjoying the ride :-) BJ Quest

Lander's and Bases on the Mun The left one is emergency escape vessel called "The Castle". A Kethane miner rig. A living quarters base for the Kerbal's. Several exploring ships (Scout in different versions) that delivered the rovers. All connectable with small docking ports as well as attachable with the KAS winch system for fuel transfer from several fuel/rover trucks. All this in version 1.9 --- Mods:Mechjeb-KAS-Kethane-ISA MapSat-Nova Punch pack parts for Boosters (TD-5002 FT and The Matriarch engine) The current scout version ships have a one Kerbal capsule on top with a latter down the center and lander legs on the two outer fuel tanks. It works fine and can be used to excape as well as explore as seen in the second shot. All the ships and bases have been refueled and ready to go :-) Looking forward to do similar type of building in version 2.0 - when the mods/add-on come out. -BJ Quest

No more testing today - But any day one can walk away from a HARD LANDING is a good day :-) Now where is the landing computer installed? - None installed yet? - Oh! BJ Quest

Taking the modified Kamper on safari A chance to view the wildlife :-) A more useful rover. RECON/Search and Rescue on patrol BJ Quest

I have recently mapped Duna and Eve for ISA and Kethane. I did not write done the altitudes but roughly if memory serves - under 300k - 250k for ISA and under 250k-200k for Kethane. Duna ISA screenshot includes the height AGL. My other screenshots have this covered by the map. Mapping speed 50x in both cases. BJ Quest

Very Nice ultralight aircraft. It reminds me of EAA (Experimental Aircraft Association) Builders and some of their projects. I would love to see a BD5J flying in Kerbal airspace. One was used in a James Bond film flying through a hanger. If the wings could be made of photovoltaic skin, would that help power needs of the ion engine?? - BJ Quest.

I put one IAS map sensor/dish on top of the rocket/prob and two (perhaps more) Kethane detectors to the side. Polar orbits for mapping then kethane detecting in same orbit and compare, writing down the center of deposits with amount of fuel in the deposits. I time increase 50x when mapping. If I remember right ISA will map under 250k height AGL and Kethane detection (I not sure?) under 200K. By using two detectors (or more) activated opposite in time I get a nice map with better resolution for the same time of mapping with one. http://imgur.com/gsc862t Currently I have a ship/prob with 2 IAS dish on top and 6 Kethane detectors spaced out from the sides of the ship with long I beams headed to Jool. http://imgur.com/e8aA8Ok I have tried this in orbit of Kerbal and like the mapping results with the detectors activation spaces out. All of this is in version 1.9. I am stating to play with version 2.0 but have yet to figure how to successfully transfer add on's and ships/miners/probes over. BJ Quest PS: The Two attached rovers to the scout ship are fuel trucks that hook up to the Kethane mining rig with a winch cable that can attach to ships to transfer fuel. Mods I use are: parts from nova punch pack(6.25mm tank and engine), Kethane, winch, as well as ISA map mods. The Scout can be used to explore the surface once the rovers/fuel truck are dumped off at the mining rig. I do use the FTmN400 Nuclear engine in the middle stage on both rockets. The Ranger (with 6 detectors) has this nuclear engine as it core power source.

Good Morning/Afternoon; My mining drill and rovers are up and running :-) One ship for the drilling head and one ship for the two fuel rovers :-) Drilling rig with rovers can be moves with landing gear put up. :-) http://imgur.com/AVUj8rv http://i.imgur.com/AVUj8rv.png' alt='AVUj8rv.png'> The design and building went well. Production started on first try to the mun. BJ Quest (Happy Industrialist)

This is the rover that help me find so many of the Easter eggs on Krbin and the Mun. http://imgur.com/a/o75tQ It has been modified since the photo to include 4 solar panels with 4 battery packs under the chassis and an antenna in one of the 4 corners. I mount 8 if these on a rocket. Place the rocket in orbit. Draw just enough fuel for each drop rover to land at the possible mapped locations and drive around to find whats there.

Thanks for the post. Tried multiple times to install it. Does version 1.9.8 need to be removed first? If so any chance of listing the files/folders of what needs to be removed. Docking has been the hardest part of the simulation for me so that function interest me until I can master docking without help. Take off and orbiting no problem. Landing on moon intact 50% of the time without MechJeb. Docking near zero. A step at a time and a day at a time. - BJ Quest
