Give HG-5 an extending pole


Recommended Posts

The HG-5 can be a bit of a pain to tuck away on a craft for launch because the pole is so long. It would be nice to have a short rod for stowed that puts the dish close to the hinge and then extends once the dish is unfolded out. 

It might even be handy for some cases to make the extending pole an option in the VAB.

Note that there is a trend that all relay antennas are a real pain to put onto any ship. All the antennas that tuck away nicely are all direct antennas, not relays...

And frankly, I like it that KSP gives us a bit of a challenge this way. A two-way interplanetary communication relay shouldn't be something that you stack away onto the rocket as an afterthought.
