Mobile Processing Lab transmission bonus

[SingABrightSong]

Hello folks. Having played a fair bit with Kerbalism, I've found I prefer the stock science system, but there is one particular part of the Kerbalism science system I would like to keep using, namely, the Mobile Processing Lab being used to enable transmission of samples rather than generating arbitrary amounts of data. I don't think this can be accomplished via a module manager patch; likely requiring a plugin. I may attempt to write a plugin for it myself, though if anyone more familiar with writing plugin code feels generous with their time and/or likes the idea I'd not complain. Any idea where I might begin?

yes u can do it with MM, i did something similar in KerbalWitchery:

ModuleScienceConverter is the slow transmit module which was removed. then i added a surface sample experiment with a higher transmit rate (xmitDataScalar value). the usagemaskReq properties set when the experiment can be run (a kerbal standing outside on the surface near the lab)
