@JadeOfMaar Thank you for your answer, it may not be the case tho. There should be only two antennas, right? one relay, one direct? I got confused, because relay dish range is only 141Tm, which seems very low, considering distances between systems. Is that intentional?

@falcoon Antenna power falloff is not linear. The more you try to buff it, the more the falloff catches up. Eventually you meet an absolute limit and you'll need a mod for subspace/FTL/handwavium comms or a manned outpost with the current antenna power so you can control any drone ship within how many hundreds of AU of it (forget about convently transmitting science back when you go interstellar. It's not happening). Putting real scale into perspctive, I think 141Tm in-game is exceptionally far for an antenna that doesn't use sci-fi magic. And we would be quite silly to expect IRL that we could hold a comms link to the Voyager probes once they reach the Oort cloud, or a link to anything if we ever mange to send to alpha Centauri.

the direct antenna's range is 5Pm

Oh, I did not remember this. I'll factor that in then. Do you actually hold a comm link that far using this? Is this enough to hold comms links between stars? (Namely, Nova Kirbani or the next-nearest from Kerbin)

So basically everything orbits Kerbol  - Sun, its SOI remains infinite and the other stars orbit it with a fixed SOI.  Their orbital speed is basically 0 and the orbit lines are hidden. Why i'm not using a central black hole? That's because it gives you endless bugs related to KSP not being made to work like that. Kerbin MUST orbit Sun (or the central object of the game) in order for the game to work properly. 
I added several asteroidbelts around Sun (like an Oortcloud) that kinda gives away when you leave the system. But technically you're always inside the 'Sun' System.

Thank you, that definitely helps. Is your setup typical for making planetary mods with multiple star systems? Do I understand that other stars have an SOI like planets do?

I'd say yes. So far other people with 'active' interstellar oriented mods have been using this setup too. I'd be surprised to see people using a central black hole these days. 
 

Stars have indeed their own massive soi's.

It is. It works way further than closest stars. In the V1400 Kirbani  system probe still keeps link to Kerbin. It's red, but works.

Might decrease its range a little.

Great, thank you for the information, this helps! :) It sounds like what I would need to do is for the central system, define an artificial SOI based on the last planet to orbit it- like Eeloo in the stock game, and then look at the SOI parameters for satellite stars. Those two pieces of information will tell me where interstellar space is. I would also need to identify Kerbol...

yeah but i think for Sun it would be interesting to take a standard distance from it instead of using Eeloo as reference, because of mods like OPM.

Makes sense. So I would need to find the furthest planet from Kerbol, whatever planet that is, and use that as a reference for the SOI of Kerbol.

yeah might be more interesting :)  or you could use the real scientific distance of 90-100 AU (1/10th) for sun.

@falcoon Kiwi adds and removes tech nodes so that's very likely. That will be handled.

I don't remove any tech nodes, just add, but if GU adds any far future tech nodes, they may not be placed correctly as I do shift nodes around from the Community Tech Tree placements.

@hemeac Thanks for mentioning. Personally, in my investigation since my first response, I saw that there isn't an obvious patch that deletes CTT's nodes so I figure Kiwi doesn't delete them, and I found GU's engines right where they are supposed to be... in Fusion Rocketry.

@falcoon You may want to remember the part titles and remember to use the search bar in the R&D view. Search "SRX" to find them.

@JadeOfMaar, that's good, GU looks too nice not to have it work right with KTT :-). Let me know if there are any support issues that my mod causes with your parts, don't want to waste your time trying to workaround them.

Hello, sorry if this issue had been brought up before or not, but i've noticed on a few occasions that when flying a vessel with this mod, whilst in map mode and {Tab}ing through the stars at some point my vessel will just explode. Any ideas on that? Thanks.

hello,

Anyone is experiencing drilling problem on Bialo? After starting drills and warping time, after several hours the drills stop saying "no ground contact". Then if I stop time warping and restart the drill, it drills again but stop again as I told

 

Thanks
