Holy cow! Crew: 2-10! Sweet!

[SkyHook]

You completely and totally stole my thunder, but I mean that in the best way possible! I will be using your wheeled designs in the future..no use for mine! I will walk off into the sunset now..

[asdier]

looks very cool, but 1 question is the cart plug-in needed???? I like the idea of some sort of big munar explorer vehicle

[BobCat]

Thx all! upd first post.

Yep

Holy cow! Crew: 2-10! Sweet!

2 crew in command pod and 8 in optional living or labs module. Cargo module no crew yet.

[mrrpamplemousse]

It's so perfect!

[MaverickSawyer]

Excellent! Love the mix'n'match setup for the Mk.2 design. And eagerly awaiting more details on the Chopper. I suspect Jeb will be hard to remove from the seat...

[Alex6511]

Are you going to include any type of launch vehicle to assist with deploying it? Getting the DEMV Mk.1 down with gear attached is nearly impossible.

[SkyHook]

Meaning that I was planning to make a vehicle exactly like this, however when I finalized the design, you released the DEMV. I don't want to be redundant, so that design will go to the graveyard

[Tommygun]

Wow, you just added 300% more awesome to it.

[BobCat]

upd DEMV Mark2 "The first tests" expedition

im use MechJeb )))

[trbinsc]

Awesome, internal views! Is there any chance of getting working instruments?

[Ghery88]

What the others said about this being awesome. I'll definetly try these.

[MSGundrium]

Hey Bobcat, I can't see your images.

Any chance of an upload to, say, Imgur?

[Lazurkri]

So this has been updated to .17? awesome! did you make it so it is its own capsule?

[Tommygun]

Are the black bumper and hand rails gone on the new version?

I notice they are not in the photos you posted.

If game developers will tell how, be sure to add. At least need a small tutorial

Well, next time I will post it

model is always under construction, and how it will look to release, I do not know I do not even know how it will look in the release.

Yes. Rover in 3 part. ComPod Chassi and Cargo payload

[TheCardinal]

Do you intend to create multiple payloads? And, if so, what kind of payloads?

[BobCat]

Do you intend to create multiple payloads?

Yes.

And, if so, what kind of payloads?

Those that will be needed, and will complement them over time.

While I was planning fuel tank , kethane tank , living module etc.

If there are any suggestions, I'm happy to hear them

Edited September 22, 2012 by BobCat

[TheCardinal]

Probably difficult to realise, but i would suggest a module (on the DEMV2) which is capable of loading and unloading carried payloads. That will change the DEMV from 'just' an exploratory vehicle to a multi-use workhorse, capable of exploration and building modular bases. (Perhaps this can be done with a modified landing foot/gear?)

I have one idea for a module.

A forklift for moving rockets and shelters once they are on the ground.

You might need to add some weight to the module so it would be able to lift objects bigger than itself.

not quite sure how it will look and work. Can you tell us more?

[EvilotionCR2]

We need DEMV Mk3 Chopper!Now!

I think he means something like this:

[mrrpamplemousse]

I have an idea, the wheel of the DEMV can be change for a kind of boat to explore the ocean moon of Jool, the sea of Kerbin or Eve ocean!

(Sorry for my bad english)
