Thank you!! I truly appreciate your work on this. :-)

It wasn't long ago I was asking this very question. There are some awesome people here who helped, so hopefully I wont steer you wrong. What I do is take all four probes with me. I move to the geosynchronous orbit and circulize it. I then look at how long it takes to make a complete orbit (I use Engineer Redux but there are other ways). I divide that value by 4 (or however many probes you are launching) and then burn pro-grade until my new orbit is exactly that amount above the orbit time. Sorry, I think I'm getting confusing. As an example, if the orbit time is 4 hours, I would burn a new orbit that takes 5 hours; if the original is 6 hours, I would burn a new orbit that takes 7.5 hours, and so on. (Don't circulize this orbit, it will end up sort of egg shaped with the periapsis lying along the orbit you want) Then, I release a probe just before what ends up being the periapsis and have the probe circulize it's orbit which brings it's orbit time back down to the original amount (4 or 5 hours in this example). Then as my main ship moves through its longer orbit, I release another probe when it returns to the periapsis and follow the same steps. When done, I end up with four probes each spaced 1/4 of the whole orbit from one another. EDIT: This will work for any circular orbit. In case you don't already know, the Kerbal Wiki will give you the distance needed to orbit in a geosynchronous manner for each of the planets.

Howdy, Silly question here. What are some things you do with the M2 cargo hold? The one with the dual sliding garage like doors? I'm trying to be creative but I'm drawing a blank on that part. Thanks. :-)

Regarding that little drone; what role do you all give to it? How do you use it I mean? As a scout, dropped from space; a landing beacon; or something else entirely.

I've been learning a fair bit from your Let's Play series. I'm curious if you'd be interested in sharing the Eagle's craft file? I'd like to look at it close up and play around with it a bit. I still get lost in the construction phase. Thanks.

Hello, I have a couple new questions. First off though, thank you for your assistance with setting up my satellites, the advice in this thread was very helpful. Okay, questions: 1) Does it matter where on the craft the satellite dish is attached? I'm having an issue with some satellites I sent to Mun. Their dishes are activated and targeting satellites near Kerbal that are targeting them back, but they are out of contact. I'm wondering if the craft is not recognizing the dish. Basically, I'm using the probe sized ASAS module at the top and have two satellite dishes attached on the corners. A previous satellite I used worked fine but on that one the satellite dish was attached along the side of the craft. (The first pic shows the satellite I'm having problems with. The second shows the one that works fine) 2) I'm learning how to program the flight computer for the craft to make various maneuvers. This isn't really a RemoteTech question, just a general one. I never know exactly how long to schedule the burn. When I set up the maneuver node, it gives me the HH:MM:SS of when the burn should take place, but often says NA on the time. Is there a table or a trick you all know for this sort of thing? Thanks again for your time. EDIT: Not sure why the pic's aren't showing.

Silly question here, I've been reading about some of the stuff coming in the next update... I was about to download this and install the mod since I think a life-support system would be a great addition. However, I'm not sure what all the update will change. Is it worth it for me to install the mod now, or should I just wait for the update and install it then? Thanks.

This dropship is exactly the type of craft I've been searching for!! Will it be released soon? Thank you so much for the time you put into your mods. :-)

Hi. I have a couple questions. 1) When you say this allows you to control unmanned craft, does that mean you can place a control unit on a item that typically requires a Kerbal and control it as if there was one there? Also, if you are remotely controlling an object, do you have to have focus on it? 2) This one will get me laughed off the forums, but can someone walk me through how exactly to place satellites 90 degrees apart from one another. I'm assuming it's done by staggering the launches, but I'm not sure. Thanks.

Howdy! I don't know if something like this exists, if so I cannot find it. I'm not sure if parts exist to build it (which I probably couldn't do anyway) I'm looking for a scout craft, a plane that can travel through the atmosphere as well as a vacuum, mainly to act as an advance scout, scoping out a landing sight or narrowing down anomaly locations. Once found, it can land and lower a ramp that an unmanned rover drives out of to look around in more detail.

I read that some people use a docking ring rather than a decoupler as it allows you to re-dock the lander. Anyone have tips on how to do that? Once I undock the lander, it's too short to dock again. I've tried mounting the docking ring lower, but I've been unsuccessful. When I put the docking ring on the floor, the lander cannot drive over it. :-) Thanks in advance for your time.
