PANDERING COPY VERSION 12.02

Welcome to Rockomax Heavy Industries, purveyors of all types of vacuum-rated vehicles, from single-seat dropships to full-blown interplanetary motherships. Every one of our vehicles is taken through a comprehensive testing process to ensure maximum functionality, usability, safety, and cost effectiveness. This process has drastically cut down not only on unintended deceleration via lithobraking, but has dropped the rate of airlock incidents by 1.2% compared to the earliest days of the space program.

GRAND TOUR VEHICLE CATALOG

SORTED BY CLASS

(Please note: GTVs require Kerbal Attachment System and Kerbal Inventory System, as well as MechJeb.)

- "CALYPSO" CLASS

Parts-heavy and complicated traditional grand tour architecture, of the type that detaches landers to mine ore on a body and return to the ship for it to be processed into fuel. Only innovative quality is the simplicity of the drive system- a single KR-2L is all that is used, and as such it can complete burns faster than almost all of its nuclear or ion-powered rivals. Has enough delta-V and the TWR to, even when fully laden with craft, theoretically land on the Mun itself and return to Kerbin without bothering to mine ore and convert it into fuel. However, as the craft is incredibly long and top-heavy, this is disadvised. Class is currently being run through its paces around Kerbin's moons by one Mr. J. Kerman and company, so we will apply knowledge gained from that to future classes of Grand Tour Vehicle. Craft file is here.

- "ROVING FORTRESS ADZAM" CLASS

Still somewhat parts-heavy grand tour architecture, but requires one launch only. Parts count reduces to semi-manageable level once into LKO with all rockets discarded. Is also the only known Grand Tour vehicle that lands as a whole rover, drives around, mines ore, converts it into fuel, then blasts off to the next location. With a chassis and suspension designed by the world-renowned Vagani car manufacturers, it.... probably... won't break one of its massive XL3 wheels at an inopportune time. In case that happens, the Roving Fortress Adzam has a KIS/KAS workshop suite complete with materials to build a hoist so you can perform manual repairs, as well as build a miniature rover and four ore scanning sats, complete with engine to push themselves into the required orbit. Represents the state of the art in near-stock grand tour vehicles. As such, it exists in core form only while Vagani take their time to perfect the suspension and chassis setup. Trust us, we tried doing the chassis ourselves... it tended to self-destruct whenever it turned left.

- "HOWL'S MOVING CASTLE" CLASS

The second grand tour rover known to exist within Kerbal Space Program. This version is a massive improvement upon the Roving Fortress Adzam, having started with the same mission brief but a "clean sheet" design. Part count and mass is half that of the Roving Fortress Adzam, but delta-V is equal and TWR unchanged. As such, it's a little less capable of self-repair and completely incapable of flinging little autonomous ore scanning satellites, but those with computers incapable of controlling 200-part rovers will probably not begrudge this. The Howl's Moving Castle class represents the future of grand touring, and is currently undergoing an intensive research and development program and not available to the public at this stage.
