Great review, thank you JackRPG. Tab 9, I always use for house keeping. The parachute, as another pointed out, is for emergency breaking, and breaking assist going down step hills. None of the mods used are Critical to the operation of this build. Only the Sub Grid Wheel Control script is a must have.
I am currently working on a hydro ship to transport this, as well as my other 2 large rover bases, between planets. It will take a while though. Will not be out before the next DLC release.
7 mods, 5 scripts. None are critical to the build, except for Whip's Subgrid Wheel Control script. Though you will have to replace the airlock doors with vanilla if you do not use that mod.
