Hey guys, this is exactly the thread I'd like to be a part of. I recently designed, launched, and assembled a self-sustaining (I hope) interplanetary ship that relies heavily on the discovery, mining, and retrieval of kethane in order to refuel throughout the solar system. It's got two ports with scanner probes, a garage for the rover, and a skycrane for retrieving and converting kethane, as well as the rover. Additionally, it has an empty docking port for future rendezvous. Two nuclear engines and two higher powered liquid fuel engines make for a highly efficient, albeit slow, boat. There's a 5X Bearcat engine for emergency acceleration, if needed. To top it off, or fill in the center, I've got enough living quarter space for Jeb and 9 of his buddies. But only 3 or 4 will inhabit the ship, making it all the more roomier. After seeing a few of your rovers though, I might have to take this back to the assembly building. I skipped past all the prior posts, to post this first. Don't worry, I'll be going back to check out the amazing designs you guys have come up with. Here's the ship in it's entirety. RCS and general mobility testing. Here it is after assembly. The launches were smooth except for the 3rd and final launch, the engine, which was a huge pain in the ass. After achieving orbit, I went about my first mission: mapping out Kerbal's kethane deposits. After I'm finished, I'll attempt to reach and mine the Mun. And then Minmus. And so on.

MechJeb's orbital gizmos stopped working after the update. Orbital Information, Orbital Operations, and Rendezvous Module are all kaputt. I'd imagine this is because of their massive code overhaul. Hope someone fixes it soon, I'm flying blind.
