Remote Tech or CommNet

[StupidAndy]

so which do you like more? the stock Comnet or Remote Tech, i like Remote Tech more because it just, i just like it better, but i barely play with a communications network anyways so eh..

I prefer RemoteTech, because with CommNet, you need an elaborate spreadsheat for everything more complicated than a single dish directly communicating with kerbin.

 

And with mods (eg SETIremoteTechConfig, SETIprobeControlEnabler), remote tech has multiple ground stations, and only needs a connection to transmit science. Signal delay can be turned off as well.

And for the next version of remote tech, I plan to release another mini-mod, which removes the necessity to manually point remote tech dishes...

 

However I do miss some of the CommNet features, hopefully they get integrated into remote tech in the future.

On the CommNet, I do not like how is calculated the distance with each level of a dish/KSC, I've quickly looked how we can disable this through a mod, but I haven't found how to do this. If someone have an idea?

don't forget about Kerbalism's comms. I'm giving that serious consideration myself since all I favor RemoteTech for is signal delay and to be honest that's just me being lazy. I can easily calculate and implement it myself (tabletop RPG style I mean, not in game). I like the idea of solar storms affecting comms and ShotgunNinja is also thinking of reworking his comms to be more realistic in the types of comm modes used to send data

i really didn't know about kerbalism having comms, i thought that there was only RT and the stock one (and signal delay, but i think that it might only be something for signal delay (hence the title), I'm not really sure if it has a commnet) but the solar flare effecting the comms sounds like a good idea, too bad 3/5ths of the mods i download either don't work or break the game
