Bases,Rovers,Satelites and Stations have purpose now

oh i have an idea for uses for probes, we can use probes to discover small areas on a planets' surface to be able to pick a good landing site.

It would be nice to be able to identify bioms with a satellite/scanner of some sort, then land to get the real science points.

You might notice that I never mentioned that probes were not more useful. Parking probes in orbit around bodies to easily complete science transmission contracts for minimal investment has made probes much more viable in 0.24.

Very true. Part of the difficulty when pieces of quotes don't carry through from page 1 to page 2 etc.

Scansat is what youre looking for my friend, you even get science for completing the mapping process!

Just google it or find it on curse, im yet to build up my mod collection and take advantage of the new 64 bit goodness, but that will be one of the first to find its way to my install
