I am really good at building rockets, but don't know what you are interested in. So maybe a poll would help?

Sooo since you are offering your aid so generously.... I am currently challenging myself on a stock-only Duna-and-back-in-one-ship mission. I have a pretty good idea ho everything should look and play out but I am open to your suggestions sensei. So please enlighten me.

Rules:

- stock only (no KW rocketry, no SpaceY, KER is okay though since it dosnt add parts)

- one ship (no assembly in space, no refueling stations besides mining with that one ship)

- ship has to land on Duna, get all available science done (for the landing Biome) including flag planting

- safe return for all Kerbals (and all science data recovered, no transmission allowed) back to Kerbin

Lets see what shows up from your end...

If you want mining and crew in one ship, gotta make it compact.

Here's a complete versatile lander mining rig with an atomic burner connected, around 6000m/s, and it fits in a mk3 cargo bays lol

But I really think using KAS makes mining much more enjoyable since you can dock any ship while in EVA to your mining rig and other useful stuff, like load cargo bays without having to use thrusters.

Wow!

You make great craft!

Download?

Download?

Thanks, I'd like to but the craft isn't completely done yet.

Trying to make a very versatile mining rig is quite the challenge you know... ^^'

[Feradose]

Wow you really are good at this, could you make a laythe sea base for science? It needs to have

-Enough electricity generation and storage

-A science lab

-Means of moving in water, speed isnt a problem.

-Generous fuel and kerbal storage

Also use as many mods as you'd like, mods add variety and make things beautiful.

Know how that feels!

Mining is tough!

Laythe Vessel is coming together Btw!

Can't wait for the download!

A floating base sounds cool.

Have any picture?

Agreed, there is so many ways to do mining. I like the approach of not having the converter harvesting ore itself, and instead use vehicles (trucks, rover, vtols) with ore radar to find the best spots to excavate and then bring it back to the converter.

Feels more plausible and realistic, somewhat. lol

However part count is a pain in the butt with these type of multi ship base.

Glad to hear that, and me too
