Rover testing

[axxo2]

My suggestion would be rover testing- a set of obstacles on the edge off the space center to test out the rovers

Rover tests under different gravity than the target location don't really prove much.

well it would be still fun to see the limits your rover can handle

If it's not done at some point by squad, I'm certain someone will create an obstacle course with the Kerbtown plugin. It isn't a very big feature, but would be lots of fun to design rovers to tackle the various obstacles.

agree with you! and maybe in the future they might have like a "low gravity chamber" with some obstacles to imitate and test rovers that would be awesome

This comes up from time to time.

It would be fun to have, but the tradeoff would be having that many more assets at KSC to load- contributing to load times and framerate issues there.

Typically though most people seem to have problems with low gravity affecting the control-ability of their rovers. No amount of testing at KSC can correctly simulate this.
