Few easy questions....

Is the ship I am using. I am trying to land, have actually landed 2 times but had crashed trying to stop the thing. But where can I see when im slowed down while decending to where im not orbiting at all. I usually seem to be going a little bit too fast sideways and crash because of it. It also seems like the landing gears do not reach to the bottom below the wheels, which also makes it slightly hard to land it/keep it from moving once landed.

As seen here, right before my crash -_- lol

If you can get your retrograde marker (has an x in the middle of it - not clear like the prograde marker) to be pointed straight up then you can be sure your sideways drift is ok to land. The just make sure that your m/s is less than 5 m/s (preferably less unless you've got good landing gear).

Happy Landings!

Another thing: I'm not sure exactly how this landing system is intended to function, but from my experience, nuclear thrusters are very fragile and should be used carefully. In cases like this, I generally use skycranes for my rovers. Just some more things to factor in.

That is a boss rover, by the way. Nice work!

Yeaaaa boy. Ok so.....apparently this thing is decked out with tools and such. Where do I see the stats for all that? Or is it just for show? And is it worth exploring the moon, or is it just....ya know, a moon, nothing on it cept what i see where im standing anyway? I plan on taking the refueling station that came with this to the moon next.

You see the stats if you right click the science part, but they are really just for show.

There are some easter eggs on the Mun if you want to search for them, but basicly: it's a sandbox. You explore because you want to drive a rover around on the mun :P

PS: The next time you try to land this: You don't need it's landing legs to land, you can land perfectly on the wheels (as you noticed). Activate the breaks to prevent from moving.

The landing leggs on that rover are to prevent tipping over
