Hi! I'm new to this forum and to KSP. First I was wondering about getting the game or not, when luckly a friend sent me a key as a gift via Steam. I couldn't be happier: what a great game it is. Surely, it's not a game for the masses, but it clearly has potencial and at the present moment the Mods increase a lot it's play value. I was already enjoying flying and discovering my rockets and it's designs (and crashing them, of course lol), till I first deployed a sattelite in a stable orbit over Kerbin. What an achievement! The sense of gratification when I saw it opening it's antennas was amazing! That bring me to the point: antennas. I've noticed in a lot of videos and websites teaching how to build a probe (including the game's wiki) the guidelines recommending placing more than one. Fore instance, one "major model" and four of the smaller, "stick-looking" ones (sorry, I'm still not fully used to all the names). The websites I read stated that if you use more than one antenna in a probe and activate an experiment (such as the Mysterious Goo or Junior Lab experiment), you could transmit it several times at once (one for each antenna). This would replace the need of five visits to do the same experiment (due to diminishing returns) or the weird solution of assembling a ship with five of the same modules just to perform an experiment. I've tried the "5-antenna" technique on a new probe, but it didn't work. Am I missing something? How exactly is this done? Is there really any benefit of bringing more than one antenna in your ship/probe? Or is that just a matter of aesthetics? Thanks a lot! SmaugBR
