Antenna Signal Strength

[Duncan.Howell]

Just a quick question, does having a higher gain antenna/better connection to ksc  give you a higher percentage of science when you transmit the data?

Provided you play with Commnet enabled, the wiki says so:

longer for sure

Up to 40% bonus according to Wiki linked above, with the bonus decreasing linearly with signal strength

The Wiki doesn't have much on it - it definitely drops off with lower %, and from what I've seen its also non-linear. I think someone tested and documented the drop off but I can't remember the thread now.

Good memory, you are correct:
