Oh man that reminds me a lot to Kerbal Space Program, those times I lost communication because of a wrong turn and the antenna/solar panel faced the wrong way

- NBJack 3y agoI like to think at least a few NASA engineers come to meetings with some brilliant ideas....that were cooked up at the 1am mark of a 7 hour weekend KSP binge.
- jojobas 3y agoYou have to agree that "skip to morning" button really works.
- matheusmoreira 3y agoA bad case of planet between antenna and space center! Is orbit stable? If so, launch and maneuver into position a huge network of relays until connectivity is restored. If not, watch while probe crashes and burns onto the celestial body. An automatic realignment function would be nice...
- wafflemaker 3y agoHow? What mods do you use? I played pretty much without mods, so if you could also mention your whole mods' stack would be cool. In vanilla, all antennas are omnidirectional and as long as there is a working solar panel on a probe, it can be used as a relay sat.
- madacol 3y agoI exaggerated a bit, it only happened with solar panels. But it does gives you a similar feeling when you schedule a maneuver on a point where the planet/moon blocks your signal, and you only realize after it's too late
