Leandros R-2 Long Range Rover

[Soul]

I'd like to introduce myself with this post. I am Soul and I've started a Kerbal Design Firm called Puma Design. This is our first vehicle and I'd love any feedback. We've tested it extensively on the Mun and would love to see and hear of any of your adventures with it on other planets/moons. The .craft file comes with the Rover and a Launch Vehicle that'll get it to the Mun, but feel free to modify it to go beyond!

Anwyay, I present the Leandros R-2.

Thanks for checking it out!

Looks awesome!

I don't want to be critical but:

''The one downside is that you need fuel to be able to flip yourself back over. However, we've added a Clamp-O-Tron Jr. docking port to the top of the rover to enable refueling missions. (Refueling vehicle still in development stage).'' from your imgur

So where is this clampotron again when I have flipped your rover? aaah.. crap :-/

[Soul]

Hahaha, well, good point. I'd say if you're getting too low to be able to flip yourself, maybe that's when you stop and do a refueling mission lol.

One gripe. Your thread lists the vehicle as [sTOCK] but I try to load it and I'm missing part "EngineerChip". I'm assuming that's from kerbal engineer? Might want to find that part and remove it to keep the [stock] tag.

[Capn]

you should remove the engineer chip to make it stock.

Oh crap you're totally right... I'll fix that this afternoon. Thanks for the heads up.

Done. I removed the chip (which was a difficult process in itself as I had it hidden very well hahaha... was sort of fun tearing the vehicle apart to try and find it again.) Anyway. The Kerbal Engineer chip has been removed and it is 100% stock as advertised!

Thanks for the heads up on that one guys. The file has been updated on the Kerbal SpacePort link and you should have no problems loading it as is. Cheers!

Looks very cool! The graphics are very high quality, although just a nice shot showing the whole thing would be great.
