My small kethane base

The 4 miners are delivered with a skycrane operated by 1 crew.

all 4 miners have drills and small kethanestorage. The plan is to transfer the fuel/oxi as its converted as less space is needed for storage.

KAS is also in with 2 boxes on each miner, containing 4 pylons to put on ground (used to connect several things, see KAS-mod page on forums) and 8x Connectors that can be placed on pylons or shipparts.

At the moment only the skycrane can provide electricity for a even conversion to fuel but im thinking of removing 2 miners and add 2 Aux Powerunits.

The long fueltank in the back is a left stage for the rover-delivery rocket (thats now back on kerbin ... althou forgot chutes on it so it landed pretty hard.. . ahem.. )

And the last one in the middle, biggest is a way to store fuel and a small ammount of kethane during night operations (due to the fact my constructions need electricity from solar panels)

That is very cool. I like the ideas and the general concept.

Wouldn't it be better to have 4 drills connected to a single big converter instead of 4 small ones? I ask because I'm planning to copy, I mean, use as inspiration your scheme.

Also, can we have some more pics of the ships that you used as well?

I prefer them to be decoupled one of each at a time so they can drive out independantly.

ive scrapped the KAS for now and using dockingports on the bottom. Also made 2 modular rovers as mobile fueltanks. (FL 800 and one RockoM x32)

they are still very prototype, ive got lifters for the main drillrig for now. Pics will come later on as im in the middle of fueldesigning and had to check forums for one thing.

Will provide pictures later on.
