In KSP you encountered with problem of rover placement on lander. It is quite difficult to secure the rover with a decoupler because they are designed for tanks not rovers. And there is problem with different heights of rover on lander and surface. To not to suffer making skycrane without ropes or add gyrodines to to roll over rover in case of an unfortunate fall from the platform I suggest just to add ramps Because width between wheels can be different, it is obvious to make ramps kinda procedural part. It also must secure rover before landing and this function can be resuable or not. Of course ramps must be folding, as for example on astrobotic griffin lander or another same type rover landers

Skyhooks are fine, but sometime I'd really like to do something more along the lines of a Lunokhod or Pathfinder/Sojourner, with deployable ramp(s)... occasionally I see ramps or ramplike mechanisms in this or that mod, but I'm really not clear on what would be best/most practical for a small rover (i.e., Mk3 cargo ramp is too big). I see people (esp @Majorjim! ) experimenting with hinges, but I'm not clear on how that could be used for a ramp... would some kind soul please give me a pointer in the right direction? Thanks!
