phlux Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Is it somehow possible to enable some sattelites to be relays and not other? I have dedicated comm satalites and others for orbital surveys. The orbital survey ones need dishes to scan but i not fitted with enough power to also be relays but it seems like i can just enable relay function for all sattelites at once. Do i miss something or do i have to build my survey sattelites differently because they also have to work as relays? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topos Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 When I click on the comm next menu icons, nothing happens. What could be the problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryaja Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 This is a cool mod, although I've uninstalled it for now as there is only one station on kerbin so my relays always go out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just make a small constellation around Kerbin (3-4 sats) so that one of them is always in range of the KSC and can the others can link to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordanjay29 Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 There's even a mission to put a satellite in keostationary orbit, could easily use that for your comm relay and then throw others into different orbits to catch the signal when KSC is occluded.

mattihase Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Have the antenna strengths changed since KSP1? I swear remember the HG-5 used to have enough range to keep you connected to the DSN all the way out to the Mun KSP1. Then again that might have been because of the multiplicative range thing beause I always tended to slap them on in pairs for symmetry.

Release the first one above KSC so it has connection. The rest can talk through it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superfluous J Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 (edited) So I did some math and this appears to be where antennas will reach: Eeloo furthest ANTENNAS RA-100, 88-88 (100Gm) <nothing> ANTENNA HG-55 (86Gm) Eeloo Closest Jool (All) Dres (All) Duna Furthest Eve Furthest Moho Furthest ANTENNA RA-15 (15Gm) Moho Closest Duna Closest Eve Closest ANTENNAS RA2, DTS-M1, KSC (2Gm) Kerbin's SOI boundary Minmus Mun ANTENNA HG-5 (5Mm) Keostationary ANTENNAS 16, 16-S (500km) LKO Edited March 29 by Superfluous J Added Kerbin's SOI boundary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My reply was based mostly on my experience with the old RemoteTech mod from KSP1. I just launched vessels with this mod and it's much more lenient with commnet connections. It's true you cannot create maneuver nodes, but you can still control the vessels and aim them at prograde and throttle up the engines. I just got 2 probes into orbit by launching them such that they were out of comms range at Ap, and then at Ap I told them to aim prograde and max throttle to raise their Pe up out of the atmosphere. I did this with no connection to KSC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smurfalot Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Does this mod use the combined antennas formula? I have a set of relay sats with dual RA-15s, that should be getting a combined range of about 25Gm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought about it but in the end I feel it’s very complicated to remember and to reason about ( 3/4 of the mod is UI & rendering), so I tried to avoid it. I think it would be nicer to have higher range / different range antennas when needed (with new parts, I mean) On 3/28/2024 at 6:38 AM, Superfluous J said: So I did some math and this appears to be where antennas will reach: Eeloo furthest ANTENNAS RA-100, 88-88 (100Gm) <nothing> ANTENNA HG-55 (86Gm) Eeloo Closest Jool (All) Dres (All) Duna Furthest Eve Furthest Moho Furthest ANTENNA RA-15 (15Gm) Moho Closest Duna Closest Eve Closest ANTENNAS RA2, DTS-M1, KSC (2Gm) Kerbin's SOI boundary Minmus Mun ANTENNA HG-5 (5Mm) Keostationary ANTENNAS 16, 16-S (500km) LKO Oh this is really nice as a recap!

Smurfalot Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 (edited) I don't suppose there is a way to enable relays from the nearest manned vessel instead of needing a full relay chain going back to KSP?

mattihase Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 I wonder if the game already has hooks for that in there somewhere, they'd need it for colonies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
