Probe Core Science and other science parts.


Recommended Posts

As crew Pods allow for Crew Reports, perhaps Probes could also transmit some sort of science, like a radio signal transmitted from the probe to Kerbin, back and forth. For instance around Kerbin it could say "The signal is received instantaneously." and at Eeloo it could say "The signal delay short but noticeable; our scientists can count to 5."

Other science parts could include a Gieger counter, camera (perhaps doing the same job as Eva reports), various EMS telescopes and cameras etc

The whole point of crew reports is to encourage manned missions, instead of just doing everything with 40kg OTKO2 probes. Adding probe core-specific science would A, defeat this purpose, and B, be non-sensical, because a manned mission should be able to do everything a probe can*.

*Unless you care about your Kerbals, in which case you probably don't want to do a one-way trip to the bottom of Jool.
