hmmmmmm two pc player is drivin the mond now....

Hehe... who's the other one?

How does my rover look like though to you guys?

 

[Mars Pathfinder]

SM84CE he already send a shuttle and a rover out there....

And btw you need a beacon or statue so we can know where did you started...

Shoot. Forgot to put my third stage along. I'm gonna send one to where my rover is right now as it hasn't moved far from it's landing spot. Or I can put it back as my rover can actually FLY as it kinda exploited the RCS glitch in 1.35. Or I'm gonna do it all over again with another payload with the rover.

why don't ya send the beacon on the current location of the rover then start to tour!

don't forget the probe so it can't be erased during clean up drive....

Heh. I'm good at rendezvous at orbit but not when the other is in a celestial body.

no just land it accurately....
(or just make new rover with a beacon underneath of it)

That was what I was about to do.
And as I said, I'm bad at targeting (but I'm good when both are in orbit).

hmmmm i think you need to practice at accurate landing....

I do need some practice...
Anyways I might return my rover to Earth using RCS.

no wait maybe it could be used as a beacon?

Nah, as I said, I'm pretty bad at targeting.
I may destroy my rover and launch an improved one as this one looks too tall. It kinda tips over easily, which I could easily counter with RCS.

why don't ya build a more horizontal one rather big vertical ones (since its low gravity maybe it will be tip off or off balanced)

That was what I was about to do, again.

I'm just here...

LOL

 

[SynergyBoi]

Anyways, seems like this should work.

Edit: Too wide?

maybe remove the rcs below......
and the landing stage should have probe so incase you cleanup it will never vanish....

So 4 RCS should be enough?
And yeah I nearly forgot the probe.

 

[SynergyBoi]

I got my final design.

 

[SynergyBoi]

Made it! (separator's disengaged)

Rover's off the beacon!

 

[SynergyBoi]

I got my final design.

Edit: This wasn't final, I eliminated one of the separators and removed the legs on the rover.

Destroyed existing rover (it was annihilated due to very hard landing), launched and landed my new Lunar Lander 2!

Much refined...
