Don't get me wrong, I'm definitely still very hyped for this update, but I was also pretty hyped for No Man's Sky Lie, and I think everyone knows how that turned out. Andem, I'm not suggesting you do anything at all. Make another thread, or not, or whatever. I'm just saying that if you complain on the Hype Train, you shouldn't be surprised or take it personally when your complaints fall on deaf ears. People aren't in this thread to complain or address your concerns, they're here to party.

RoverDude Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 1 minute ago, Temeter said: Since the question came up from go slash and seemed to get a bit lost, do we lose contanct on launching rockets? I remember that being a real issue with remotesat. Of course, you still alway had manual control at least over your orientation, because the mod couldn't cut that control. The built in antenna that all pods and probes have, and the level 1 TC are enough to ensure that a vessel on Kerbin's surface or launched into LKO will have control.

Sroll up to roverdude's post with the map: There are sufficient built in tracking centers to ensure a probe will never lose contact with Kerbin if they can see Kerbin (i.e. are not occluded by another planetary body). So you can lose track if you get behind the moon, or out of range, but just launching to a low orbit should be no problem. (Personally I'd like if there were a few gaps, over oceans or the poles, but hey... can't satisfy everybody.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I see. I guess Kerbins smaller size means you'll get much faster to high altitudes compared to Real Solar System. Although I wouldn't mind making a manned launch to drop off the first communication satellites into orbit around Kerbin. Would feel quite Kerbal! 3 minutes ago, Laie said: Sroll up to roverdude's post with the map: There are sufficient built in tracking centers to ensure a probe will never lose contact with Kerbin if they can see Kerbin (i.e. are not occluded by another planetary body).

(Personally I'd like if there were a few gaps, over oceans or the poles, but hey... can't satisfy everybody.) Thing was, in Real Solar System you got actual holes, because earth is just so huge. Probably not an issue on Kerbin since you get faster up in relation to planet size (10 times smaller planet, 2/3rd atmosphere). That's not to say I don't mind challenges!

GoSlash27 Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 First thing I'm gonna do once I have suitable tech is put up terrain mapping sats so I can find all of the anomalies for further inspection. Best, -Slashy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best, -Slashy Good point, we can do that too now. Of course I'll also want to visit some tracking station and check how rigid they are, if you know what I mean. >:D You know, I originally just sait to myself 'I'm not gonna start a new carrier for this prerelease beta, sandbox is fine', but the new game elements sound so interesting I might just start one. Played of course with stuff like remotetech and scansat, but that was mostly in RSS, where you usually don't do much beyond mars and venus. Speaking of Scansat, I'm curious how remotech might profit from those changes! Edited September 11, 2016 by Temeter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoSlash27 Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 @RoverDude Sorry for pestering you again Do you know if the anomalies will be unique biomes for science collection purposes?

You now get percentages in your science library, showing you in how many of the planets biomes you've done an experiment. Of course satellites now detect biomes.

Yellowburn10 Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Hey, I just had a thought. If we have satellites and probes out for communications and such, would there be something stopping the contract system from asking you to move them? So far I don't think this has been brought up much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's what I do; just let sucky contracts expire. I never outright decline a contract. I hear they're adding a new mechanic whereby declining a contract will result in less contracts of that type being offered.
