Ktv

I present to you, a vessel, with the most unimaginable, nondescriptive name known to man, the one and only:

Kerbal Transport Vehicle (KTV for short)

You can clearly see that Jeb is enjoying his ride a lot. I've turned on the camera and vaguely locked it at VAB (failed) to make it at least look useful.

This 3 ton contraption, made redundant by pressing R on EVA, is able to transport a member of your crew a medium distance across the planet/space,

but only in a low gravity environment (tested with gravity hack on Kerbin and on Minmus, not sure about the Mun (might test later (it will probably be added to most future missions, due to it's usefulness))).

This is how I start my flight for now, the pod provides a kerbal, and the storage parts provide a chance of refueling (made possible by K.A.S.).

Here you can see it flying along, it slowly reaches quite impressive speeds and takes just as much time to decelerate, making it a perfect alternative to faster, more maneuverable and longer-lasting rovers.

You can easily refuel monopropellant refill the battery using KAS. I could of course setup a better looking image with an actual mission and all that but i'm lazy. Might come later.

So yeah, that's it, my first craft showcase. Mission images are coming Soon^TM. If you for some reason (?!) want the .craft file let me know, I'll throw out the useless mods to make it more available (camera, mechjeb...).

It does kind of need the DR cubes (for the looks) but could i guess be rebuilt (worsely) in a modless game. I'm a newcomer to the forums, so if there's already tons of identical crafts around, sue me! (don't)

All credit goes to authors of mods who made this thing possible, or at least better looking. I'm open to suggestions on how to improve it, though it is and always will be, an badass looking anchor for your landers.

P.S.: Is it possible to just add a saved craft to another one? For example adding this to a lander?

P.S.2: As this is my first showcase i'm also open to suggestions on presentation improvement.

Commented gallery (story)

Here. I've completed the mission to test my creation on the moon. There were some interesting complications, so i made a story out of it, tell me what you think! (i might do more, it was quite fun)

If you're wondering [AFTER YOU WENT TROUGH], I have actually failed with Bob and there wasn't enough RCS left to make it to the edge anymore. I was mocking around with K.A.S. docking and stuff

and somehow managed to gltich him out - he wasn't clickable, selectable, nothing. The actual rescue mission hasn't take place yet, but I will definitely do it.

P.S.: Failed at making it imbedded in the post :|
