chazbone Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Hello!As the title suggests everytime I go to orbit the Mun I time warp to get close to my PE so I can retro grade to get my orbit correct. After I time war and I am a distance away from Kerbin I lose control of my rocket and cant turn it at all or turn my engines on or off.Do I need to get a comms satellite out to extend my control influence?Or am I missing something?Thanks!

K^2 Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 You are using a probe core, aren't you? These things need electric power. When you run out of power, you lose control of the ship. Add batteries to store more power and add solar panels or radioisotope generator to generate more power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stupid_chris Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 You only need to set up satellite communications if you are using the RemoteTech mod, else, as said above, you're probably running out of power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made the error of trying it out at the beginning and yeah, I regretted it after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julianus Naevius Lucius Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 (edited) I lose control even if I'm using a manned vehicle. Edited November 24, 2013 by Julianus Naevius Lucius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Specialist290 Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Given that this thread is several months old and that at least one update has come out in that time, I'd imagine some of the information in this thread might be just a tad out of date. Thus, if you're still having problems, I'd highly advise you to create a new one describing your current problem in detail.Thread closed.
