She has a lot of science gear on her. I launched her to most of the plant's and used it for science missions. I even got one on Moho.... on accident. xD And you may not see it, but she has 2 antennas on the wings. Finally, with all that battery storage, she can transmit almost endlessly, even while in the air. I did leave out the flight computer and the science bay, but mostly because they would have made the plane ugly. But you can strap the cone computer on her fairly easily if you really want to. I did it with radial decouplers and tiny fuel tanks, so I could drop them, or have them look like missiles. Just not be ugly. I've made way to many rockets that where only functional.
