Request: stock unmanned interplanetary rover, version 0.19

[Erkki]

Hello,

I have an interplanetary 5-kerbal 2-part vehicle with separate command and lander sections capable of reaching, landing and returning from every planet and moon without an atmosphere(except, quite possibly, Tylo). However, my guys are in need of a rover to drive, and I have failed to incorporate one into the existing vessel without making it a mess to fly and hurting its capabilities...

So, I've attempted to build an unmanned vessel for a one-way mission to deliver the rover to whichever place the main ship is going... But the task is really tedious and frustrating. Just making the rover symmetric without using a week to build it seems almost impossible... I guess there are mods that could help with this? Thus, I am asking you to help me build a rover that can carry 1 or 2 kerbalnauts and that can with its delivery vehicle reach and land any of those Kerbol system bodies that have no atmosphere.

I've decided to test the whole 3-ship system first with a mission to Dres.

Bonus points if its easy enough to control/has enough margin of error to land in one piece and within walking distance, 0-2 km, of the lander.

Thank you in advance!

TL;DR: I'd love to have an unmanned, preferably stock, kerbalnaut-carrying, rover and its delivery vehicle that can preferably reach Jool. I already have the means to get 2 guys there and back home.

The easiest way to build a rover is with the 2-way symmetry in the SPH and then add a rocket in the VAB.

Once you're satisfied with the result save it as normal and look for your ../Kerbal Space Program/saves/[name]/Ships/SPH/ folder.

Copy the .craft of your rover and past it into the ../Kerbal Space Program/saves/[name]/Ships/VAB/ folder.

Open the .craft file with the text editor of your choice (notepad will do fine) and change the third line from type = SPH to type = VAB.

Finally go back into the game and load your rover from inside the VAB. Add a rocket and launch.
