Welp, I just answered my own question! I had RemoteTech installed. Uninstalled it and all my problems with pointing dishes went away. Hooray for me.

Coming back to this game after a long hiatus. I had last played after the 1.2 update but there are still things I don't understand. I want to set up a triple satellite network in a geostationary equatorial orbit. I can do all that just fine. I have the commsat network or whatever it's called turned on, and the additional ground stations turned off because why not. My questions are as follows: How many antennae and relay dishes does one of the satellite need if the furthest I plan on going out right now is Minmus? Do I need to have all the relay dishes pointed at KSC? Do I need to have any relay dishes pointed at the vessel headed towards Minmus or at Mun/Minmus itself? Should I leave any dishes unpointed? Should I have any relay dishes on my Minmus bound vessel? Where do I point those dishes if I need any at all? Do I need antennae on that vessel as well? None of this is explained anywhere that I could find, no tutorials online cover it, no YouTube videos. I'm totally stuck here.

At one point, using CKAN, I managed to get a mod that showed my apoapsis in the little box attached to the top of the navball if i clicked it to show my orbital speed. I don't know what the mod is called, and I can't seem to find it again in CKAN. It was incredibly useful and I really want it back. Unless is was part of another mod, which would be fine too.
