"Beetle" Duna Lander

Bahamuto Dynamics' "Beetle" Duna Lander

From the maker of the "Mosquito Kethane Drone", this bug inspired craft features a hard shell that covers folding wings and retracted aerospike engines. It was designed to land on Duna and look cool. Kethane parts were added as an afterthought in case somehow it would be able to return home.

Unfortunately, the list of required addons is long and possibly incomplete:

Kethane

B9 aerospace

pWings

Proc. Fairings

Stretchy Tanks

Infernal Robotics + MagicSmokeIndustries parts

mechjeb

Spherical Tanks

possibly KW rocketry

You sir, deserve a standing ovation. *clap clap clap clap clap*

[darkshockwave78]

Also, you can't load the .craft file :/

EDIT

Even with all the mods.

a while ago I was playing around with using the procedural fairings this way, but I found that I kept crashing ksp every other time I reverted my flight. did you have to deal with this as well?

[BahamutoD]

Woah, blast from the past. This was built on an old version of KSP and older versions of all the mods than whats available now so I'm not surprised it doesn't work.. Sorry.

Parallax, I didn't have any problems there iirc.. I had bunch of crashes from running out of memory though. (This is pre-active memory reduction era. haha)

Heh, thanks for reviving this thread, I remember seeing this design when BahamutoD posted it on Youtube.
