Probe Control Point

Probe Control Point

What is the function of a Probe Control Point you ask.  It enables remote control of probes that are no longer connected to the KSC.  Think of having a RC car race on Eeloo

The only part that has a Probe Control Point is the MK1-2 Command Module.

I suggest that additional parts should have this feature. 

Give the PPD-10 some love and attention.  Enable the Probe Control Point for this part.  This part should have some additional function to it other than hauling kerbals and snacks.

 

 

As for any other parts that should have this Probe Control Point option include them here.

Actually there are several others.
Try looking at Remote Guidance Units.

I stand corrected.

The RC-001S and the RC-L01 have the Probe Control Point.  Too bad these are at the end of the tech tree.  I was looking for probe uses at the beginning.   Consider the option for DSN modifier at zero.  Probes cannot be operated until second tier science facility upgrade and unlocking the Mk1-2 Command module.  

If there was a flight computer so a probe could be programmed for flight then probes could have use early on.  But adding FC is complicated and that is why adding a Probe Control Point to the Hitchhiker came to mind.

Another method for allowing probes early on is another suggestion I have been considering.  The ability to upgrade Building stats such as the DSN modifier.  So at a cost of Funds and Science the building stats can be improved.  These will be in the form of buffs so when a building is upgraded to the next tier the buff carries forward.  The Building Stats Improvements suggestion I will be adding after my suppertime.

The info on the wiki is outdated. I could fix it when I get home, but if someone got to it in the meantime I'd appreciate it.
