IVA For Probes

[Moesly_Armlis]

This was suggested awhile back and a mod was started.

Now that communication satellites are now a thing maybe IVA for probes via a Control Room should be brought to a reality.  All the work done in the command modules IVA are awesome.  Lets give the mission Control some love.  Maybe the Control room follows the Mission Control upgrades.  That is the look of the control room improves as Mission control is improved.  Maybe we can catch glimpses of the team sort of like the VAB/SPH almost to the point of distracting.

If this is updated, I'd nly see it as logical to add cameras and why not a control room part aswell to send on moon to have a real lab down there? I hope this will come in the same update as the better IVA's. Thanks for bringing this up

Control rooms or labs on the moon that the kerbals can walk around in would not add much to the game as a rocket simulator. 

The immersion though would go through the roof.   This might be an excellent avenue for a DLC pack that would bring life to all interior spaces.  I would gladly pay extra to have the ability to walk inside all the current interior spaces and the ones that are constructed by our kerbals.

The big red "abort" button has to be replaced with "self destruct".

Tbh I think this kind of Mission Control feature could be saved for multiplayer. Akin to Telemachus or Houston mods.

I'm not against it. I just don't think I'd use it much until it provided actual useful info or be a part of MP.

I do also think the DLC as a good option to introduce them.

However my train of thought for moonstations was roughly this: hmm... That control room could also be used as a control room for surface stations.... Why not use it then :-D Would only need some new illustrations for the monitors

And for cameras... Control rooms would just be much more usable with cameras, especially if they decide to include a Hard Mode ingame without ability to use external views.

For better IVA I thought it could be included aswell as a "bow on the top of the present" for the update/DLC and, though not of necessity, would make the ensemble feel complete.

EDIT: Also if we get monitors in this game, I would suggest a new set of cockpits too as it would only be logical to apply a whole IVA overhaul, instead of bare probe IVA addition
