Exp MB rover 20x8

Description
Large exploration rover that is equipped as a small base. The suspension is on subgrids to allow for better navigation over terrain. Has an internal vehicle bay for storing a small rover. As well as 2 small landing pads for ships. Utilizes atmospheric and hydrogen thrusters for acceleration. Can be accessed without jetpack via the ramp. The center has enough ground clearance to drive over boulders.

No MODS

DLC:
*Decorative packs 1&2
*Frostbite: Offset doors

*Wheel sections are connected via rotors. Rotors set for 80 degrees of travel.

*Wheel suspension strength was setup for Mars. 3X3 wheels need to be set at a higher strength to prevent bottoming-out when the wheel sections tilt at 40 degrees. Wheel height should be set to max when moving.

*Braking efficiency is terrible since the majority of the mass is a subgrid to the wheels.

Utilizes these scripts:

@Ronin: I haven't gotten around to trying your script yet. I'll will try it on my mining rovers since they require multiple wheel settings that vary depending on payload.

Awesome. I subscribed. I made a Youtube video with your rover in it. I put my Suspension Manager script on it as a demo of the script. The second video in the description shows how easy it is. Maybe you want to incorporate it into your rover? It's really helpful for managing all of those wheels.
