I think, with the older version, I also had a fixed .dll installed. With that, I was definetely able to do just that. I have satellites around the Mun and Minmus. So, when the Mun blocks the line of sight to Kerbin, a vessel did connect to a sat around the mun and find a route to Kerbin that way. That worked perfectly fine. (I am going for 100% coverage )

I have a little problem with using a ship as a relay for my lander... I checked it multiple times for the AV issue. But I do see both cones. One from a commsat at Kerbin targeting Duna with an 88-88, and one from my ship orbiting Ike (momentarily directly in front of Duna) (standard 3Kerbal cockpit) targeting Kerbin also with an 88-88. Both are displayed. But as soon as I switch to another vesser there is no more connection between that orbiting ship and Kerbin (no green/orange line). ha ha.. funny thing.. Just wehile writing this, I found the reason (which shouldn't be one.... -.-). I switched two of my sats at Kerbin to target Ike instead of Duna. Even though Ike is in front of Duna, it seems like my ship in the SOI of Ike did not get a connection. I remember this kind of thing worked for vessels targeting Kerbin where the Mun was in the line of sight and targeted Mun-Sats instead just fine... (that was with the old version). Is this a known bug, or something new?

Thanks for the answer, that sounds good.. I also overheard Scott Manley talking about that - And it makes sense.. Would be great to see that in the next version.

I just tried to do some research with a Science Laboratory in orbit. I do have more than enough solar panels tp get the needed 5MW. Now I read: "In order to produce science with the Science Lab you need 5MW of energy from a Generator/Reactor or a Microwave Receiver. It is independent of the E/C you have." - Seriously?? I need to add a power transmitter to beam the power from my vessel and add a receiver to the same vessel to receive the same power??? I can't use the power directly from the solar panels? - Already thinking of a module consisting of two transceivers coupled into some kind of "electricity to electricity converter"... oO
