Intended for surface resource scanning on Minmus, I designed this vehicle using some inspiration from the Mako vehicle from Mass Effect. Toggle the rear topside thrusters to increase traction while accelerating in low gravity environments, and toggle the underside thrusters when you'd like to take flight or even achieve orbit. Braking from very high speeds is best achieved burning retrograde off the ground, and the topside docking port is there specifically as a control point for flight maneuvers. Refueling capacity not included.
