I had pretty good luck with the ion drive limited to 50% thrust. Got my orbital period within miliseconds of eachother. Plus they have over 11,000 delta-v each so I can correct them for a looooon time. I also have two with line of sight to KSC. Just seems like a good idea.

I'm seriously contemplating that. Either that or 5 or 6 at geosync. ETA: Well I found the other part of my problem. I've been using the 88-88 because "it looks cool" not realizing it has a microscopic arc. I noticed the DTS-M1 I put on my tugboat worked fine but the 88-88 didn't. Whoops! I managed to get all of my satellites over Kerbin in range of each other and all with an orbital period of 1 day so hopefully they stay in range. I will have go up and add some batteries to each of them, though. Luckily I only had one satellite up in Munar orbit with the 88-88 to retrieve and replace then hopefully I can get my network with the DTS-M1 going.

Was kind of thinking that was it, but with the problems I was having with the Munar satellite I assumed something else was wrong. I'll send a team up right away and report back.

Yep. All four satellites have all four 32s deployed. I've tried every combination of "point to" that I can think of. Pointing to Kerbin does nothing. I'm starting to think I've got mod conflicts or a botched install or something. http://i.imgur.com/OrRp9Nl.jpg?1

I'm also having trouble getting things going. I launched 4 satellites into synchronous orbit around Kerbin with two in KSC line of sight at all times. Three of the satellites connect but for some reason I cannot get the fourth to see KSC at all. I have four of the big omni antennas on all of them (the 32). I also am trying to set up a network around Mun but cannot get the one satellite I have there to see KSC unless it's in direct line of sight. I had assumed that I only had to tell it to contact KSC and it would use the other satellites as a relay if it didn't have LOS. I have dishes on all of the satellites in Kerbin orbit. Do I have to go in and set up every single dish and manually have them point at every other satellite?
