Getting around on Eve


EndOfTheEarth

Recommended Posts

Thinking back on it, I recall it being mentioned that a Kerbal's walking pace during EVA was determined by the gravity of the body they are marching about on. If this is so, then will the significantly higher gravity on Eve slow EVA operations to a halt? Will it even be possible to get up if a kerbal on EVA falls over?

And what about the ladders? Even though a kerbal's mass hasn't changed, would the lighter ladder still be able to hold up the weight of one or more kerbals on Eve?

So, I suppose the question I'm asking is "How you intend to get around the high gravity during Eve EVA ops?"

or, since I know there are rover mods, "How do you intend to get around the high gravity with only stock parts?"

You can make stock rovers, but either way, I will likely be using rovers. Eve is not one of my target objectives for .17, so it's just going to be a little side travel for me someday. Even if I decide to make a landing on it, my plan is to just use a rover or walk around a few meters. Climbing back UP a ladder might be a problem.
