The vertical ice walls might be a bit of a challenge:)

Actually this design is not a great rover, definitely less capable when it comes to climbing.

I remember a mission report or video from years back where someone climbed that wall with a pair of KAS harpoons. It was epic.

Hey those walls are only 30m high--I'm sure you could find a way to climb them :)

This is begining to sound like a new mission thread.

Bob climbs the unclimbable mountain, crosses the uncrossable river...

With some help I I've now got the latest Scatterer, with shadows on water and refractions, working with KS3P. Of course I had to get the Coastal Cruiser out of storage to take a pic with the new mods.

Ah, the irony.

Oh derp necro!  It's not March 2019 anymore is it?  Too bad you don't get the warning when saying "quote selection".

Oh... you fool... if it's any consolation, you just made me realize it's been more than a year since I joined the forums because this was one of my very first threads I read!

So did it give you the impression that everyone on the forum dumps 30 screenshots into their posts ;)

You're in luck @Eclipse 32 as I've found the craft files for the boats, although there are none of the aircraft or the "Juice Moose", as I no longer have those files.

Some missing parts errors pop up, for out of date mods like RCS Sounds and Docking Camera, but the ship load and operate fine without them.

You can download the boats from here.

There are files for 4 boats in there, with the "Coastal Cruiser" being the original ship I started the trip with. At some point I switched to a stripped down version, with just a single jet engine and no ISRU gear, which is either the "Coastal Cruiser 2" or the "Coastal Cruiser 2x"... can't remember the difference between the two of those.

There is also the "Coastal Cruiser Combo" that was the Coastal Cruiser on top of a wheel vehicle, to take it to the water. That's the thing I used to start the whole trip in.

If you want to get in the water quickly with one of the boats, best use the Vessel Mover mod to get one in the water from the launch pad.

Have fun.

The KSS will take a bit of work to get working as a ship file, as there are some mod parts used (for the submersible) that I don't have the mod for and the ship fails to load.

I'll look into that and see if I can get hold of the relevant mod and provide version of the ship with and without the submersible, so with or without need for that mod.

I've not put a ship on Kerbal X for a very long time, but I'll look into that.

All the versions of the boats are now on KerbalX.

Cruiseboat Combo

Coastal Cruiser

Coastal Cruiser 2

Kitchen Sink

Kitchen Sink - NoSub

All except the Kitchen Sink craft use stock parts. That one has some Making History DLC parts used somewhere on the minisub, plus some Ballast Water Tank mod parts, to allow it to sink.

Something you may need to do if you want to be able to use the minisub carried in the Kitchen Sink, is to find a mod to allow you kerbals to sink in water.
