Make an all in one module!

[Splayer]

CHALLENGE :-
Make a service module which can be used as Fuel refuller, rover and lander.

Necessary Features :-
Should have at least four RCS, two rover wheels, one docking port, a capsule (obviously), two lander legs, and a system that can move the it (which is gonna be hard unless you use Titan engine!).

Rules :-
1. You can use EVERY expansion, But NOT Bp editing and you can't change texture.
2. Clipping is allowed.
3. There must be every feature mentioned above.

feel free to ask anything about it

here is mine :-

Ok So I decided that YOU CAN USE EXPANSION but not bp editing.

 

[James Brown]

Can you send it into space?

 

[Splayer]

Can you send it into space?

Yes if you wish to, it all upto you but you have to send the screenshot of it in a landed position.

 

[James Brown]

My intuition tells me that it can’t go to space, even if you can, it can barely go to space

 

[Splayer]

No, it can. I am sending it in space and sending pics of it Here.

 

[Splayer]

Tho the design will look odd

 

[Horus Lupercal]

feel free to ask anything about it

Oh, you're so kind.

Should have at least four RCS

Why? Why not 2? Or 6?

you can't change texture.

Why not?

You can't use Any expansion

Why initially was this banned?

Make a service module which can be used as Fuel refuller, rover and lander.

Why? I don't get the design brief. Why would something need to be a lander, a rover, a fuel tank and a service module? Where are you landing, if you weren't intending on it going to space? What are you intending on re-fueling upon arrival? Why are your astronauts living in wet tank space in the service module? Why has it got a first stage lift engine just to get it to move left or right? You're not getting far like that and having any fuel left to give to anyone afterwards.

Thanks

I mean if you add 2, it will be useless. 6 is ok.

You have to make it structural and you can't just add a texture and call it rover and stuff.

I thought it would be not good but I allowed to use it.

It's Just a creativity challenge to see that if you can make something like this or not.

It can't go by itself you have to use a rocket to send it in a orbit or planet. Since I have to show you fast and I don't have patience to send it to moon, here it is docked in Earth orbit :

Hmm, right, now you can send it to orbit

 

[Splayer]

Oh c'mon, is it not creative?

 

[Horus Lupercal]

Why not? Current, in-use rovers aren't piles of steel beams with wheels underneath them. Previous rovers aren't piles of steel beams with wheels under them.
Infact, the vast majority of them aren't steel beams with wheels. There's a lot of closed areas containing batteries, sensors, experimentation bays, solay arrays and the like.
Which are best represented using textures.

I mean if you add 2, it will be useless. 6 is ok

Depends on where you're using it and what you're using it for. You're not moving a 40+'t rover on the surface using RCS. If you could, then you wouldn't need the hawk engines.

It's Just a creativity challenge to see that if you can make something like this or not.

Which is fine. But it needs to have a purpose to fulfill or it's just a random collection of parts with a hastily written job spec next to it.

Oh c'mon, is it not creative?

True creativity fulfills a set of pre-made criteria for existence. Not 'it's a re-fueller, because reasons'. What can it re-fuel with a 30t fuel capacity and the only docking port is on top of it? If you were being creative, you'd think 'right, this needs to have a useful payload capacity'. Then decide what a useful payload is, design a rover large enough to carry said payload,



with enough well placed wheels to allow it to propel itself over the terrain of choice



to reach its objective to fulfil its purpose.



What you have fulfils none of its tasks. So whilst it is 'creative', it isn't very useful.

How bout this?

Yes awsome

 

[yonkee]

didn’t know if you wanted it to refuel stuff in orbit or refuel stuff on land so I did both

Yes perfect

Forgot to ask : where is the service capsule?

 

[James Brown]

Forgot to ask : where is the service capsule?

Dissappeared

 

[yonkee]

Forgot to ask : where is the service capsule?

Clipped inside

 

[Splayer]

Clipped inside

Oh nice

Uhhhh… not to be mean, or anything , but neither craft fit the bill…
