Kerbart Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 This might have been posted before, but I couldn't find it (though that really doesn't mean that much). When I have a contract to "transmit science in xxx orbit" there are various ways of doing that. I could do a crew report and transmit it. I could do an eva report. I can read a temperature. The list goes on. But ironically, the one thing that does exactly what the contract says—letting your MPL transmit science—cannot be used to fulfill the contract. It's not a big deal. I sent Bill for a coffee break in the local storage pod and had him send a crew report from there, before going back to sciencing science. And it got a good chuckle out of me. But really, change the verbage on either the MLP or the contract, because this just looks... bizar. Oh, and I'm sure it's in the wrong forum, but I'm clueless as where to post this.

sal_vager Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 You could put stuff like this on the bug tracker as feedback, as the mobile processing lab is not a command module you can't send science from it without a Kerbal in a command module or a probe core on the same vessel, so this is intended behaviour. Also, the contract does not state to transmit science from a mobile processing lab, so it doesn't do exactly what the contract says at all. In addition to this, it is quite possible to complete these contracts by sending science when a crewed command module or a probe is present on the vessel, as you even state above, so your title is misleading and unhelpful. That makes your post just a rant over one part, and not a thread asking for support. Closing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
