A few moons ago I tried a rescue mission for some Droods I left behind on Nebra. This was supposed to be the mothership the Droods would dock to once in Nebra orbit. But, I vastly underestimated the amount of Delta V I would need, losing a bit over half just slowing down to orbit. It wasn't enough to return.

After that loss, I just started a new save game. But, I was so proud of the design that I decided to share it to all of you! This is the Conquest, named this since the Droods would stand ready for it's arrival. It has 4.73km/s of Delta V with no lander attached.

This is one of my favorite designs, and I like it more than the Kronos Mothership. Plus, it has a lower part count! If you use this to save any Droods, be sure you'll have enough to return home. It runs on Water, so most landers won't be able to transfer fuel.
