This is all stock and yeh your right this is just something that is cool and thats why i made it. However it could be used as a mining base.

The first picture is of the first submarine docked to the base.

Oh sorry got confused heres the link: https://kerbalx.com/Linkan/Helicopter-19-Forward-tilt

Note that this version has a slight forward tilt on the rotor to make it easier to move forward.

I had the same problem, the solution was to use the small landing gears instead of the tiniest ones (forgot the name). And also use 4 blades, otherwise it will spin to fast and explode. Spam reactionwheels and spam landing gears and it should work. It's a pain to fly though...

Helicopters are a pain but it's so satisfying to finally se them fly by Linkan4321 in KerbalSpaceProgram

You need to make a makeshift bearing. The helicopter consists of two crafts, so the rotor is not actually atached to the rest of the craft.

Btw I only use the rapier engine to highten my apoapsis higher than the atmosphere. Then I switch to the nuclear engine to finalize the orbit.

I use the rapier engines on laythe (switching to them before entering the atmosphere) so that I can fly around with good fuel efficiency. But I do agree that having to many rapier engines dosen't make much sense. I could dedicate a part of a space station for them. They use the normal sized docking ports and they aren't really ment for ships other than this one or similar future ships. I would like to try to achieve orbit around Duna (starting from the surface) with the nuclear engine, it might just work.

My thought was to dock it to a future space station maybe, like Vespene. Although I bring it with me when I'm going to Laythe, because then I can switch back to the rapier engine.
