Mobile Planetary Base - Strider

Ladies and gentlemen, ST Enterprises is proud to unveil our engineers' finest work to date. The Strider is a gigantic wheeled base, which operates on a self-adjusting suspension based on a modified rocker-bogie configuration. It's a sealed fuselage, and can be used on any surface, even moons. Our test drivers have yet to find the rock that Strider can't climb.
--Twin reactors as a primary power source.
--Set of 24 batteries and an array of 18 solar panels can serve as a backup if the uranium runs dry or the reactors are damaged.
--Two hydrogen tanks on board for refueling your crew's suits or external craft.
--Six oxygen tanks to store air, four in the airlock to fascilitate cycling, as well as four ice-based O2 generators. Addionally, there are external air intakes which can be used to pressurize the fuselage in any environment with even a little oxygen in it.
--There are 12 powered drivewheels on two static struts at the rear of the craft, as well as 12 unpowered wheels on the rocker struts.
--Two heavy jet engines can give Strider a little push when the terrain doesn't lend itself to good traction. A forward-facing engine can be used to brake.
--Built-in ore detector and antenna with a range up to 50km from Strider.
--Belly-mounted elevator system for unloading engineers and miners without the need to use precious hydrogen.
--Beacon mounted in elevator platform, with a 50km maximum range.
--Seating for six crew members plus one pilot.
--180 degree viewing angle from the bridge; above the driver's seat there are catwalks that serve as a sort of observation deck for the rest of the crew aboard.
--Medical bay, refinery, and assembler installed, making this vehicle survival-ready.
--Twin large cargo containers for storing ore and/or parts.
--ALL devices are piped into a central storage system, so that inventory can be transferred from anywhere to anywhere else.
--Four AI-controlled Gatling turrets to defend you from meteors, sabiroids, cyberhounds, and drones.
--One missile turret for a little extra firepower.
--Landing pad along the spine of the vehicle for landing and holding ships, complete with a connector point to recharge the docked craft or unloading its ores/parts/tools.
--Two connector points on Strider's belly, so it can be docked with other large ships or stations.
--Two side-mounted doors and attached staircases will allow engineers to access Strider from the landing pad.

NOTE: Slow and steady wins the race. Because of its size, Strider doesn't appear to be moving all that fast. Keep that in mind when driving across the surface of a planet. If you lay into the throttle too much, the front wheel struts can fail to roll with the terrain, and may snap off.

If you need a base that flies instead of rolls, please consider the Ark of Glass:
