example of this in action?

Much better! I can dock now!

I have not used the drone, however I assume it's intended to the raised into LKO by spaceplane and released.

you can safely and reliably target Minmus and Vice versa

Bear in mind my network is not Keo-Syncronous while on the launch platform target the last satellite yo have put up, we'll call this "Can I" for sake of brevity, at some point the PINK retrograde marker for Can I will cross the artificial horizon ball at around the 30 degree west mark this is the ideal time to launch!* *assuming a 100km target altitude with ~45 degrees of separation between Satelllites. That's all assent, now assuming your Sats have dipoles and dishes there is good news.. you do not need to point the dishes anywhere. Dish point becomes relevant when relaying a stream to the Mun or beyond. the dipoles are effectively omnidirectional. Assuming you time your placements right with 4 KeoSynced sats the distance between them will be ~4549km, just under the 5000km limit of the dipole, so they should network just fine.

Far as I'm aware there's no reason to assume .21 will break anything that is .20.2 compatible. you should be 'safe enough' if you want to try RemoteTech out now.

Hehe, I dunno if I'd call 8 "tons" , not counting JaKob, but all of the points you raise are valid ones

I've finally managed a 'basic' network by sending up what I've called Com-Cans (basic Satellite design with Control unit, dipole,and dish) in an equatorial orbit at 100 km. To do this I first had to send a Com-Can* up to a lower orbit , 80km, and use it the give the next Com-Can up a signal boost so it could achieve the 100 km orbit. then it was a simple matter of launching 7 more Com-Cans by targeting the previous Com-Can and using the target display on the artificial horizon to place the successive Com-Cans roughly 45 Degrees apart**. I have also just placed my first polar Com-Can. *I named this 'ladder' Com-Can "JaKob" punning on Jacob's Ladder. **For timing like this your window for launch is when the 'away' target marker is around the 30 degree mark on the right hand side of the artificial horizon.

joined the forum and sent up the K-eye Kethane test probe, also someone ate my snacks.

Just getting into (and addicted already to) KSP.. I'll have some thoughts to share and look forward to getting to know the community

AWESOME! A couple of the cuts feel a little 'jumpy' such as at 0:36 but otherwise Great work!
