Can change dish targets while out of contact

Open Starstrider42 opened this issue 11 years ago • 1 comments

This video by Shawn Miller shows him keeping the dish target window open, and changing targets while in No Connection (should be around the 14:30 mark). While RT's convention of letting you click window buttons with no delay is usually a good thing, this is one of the exceptions.

Proposed behavior: let the window open without delay (this would also make things consistent between right-clicking on the antenna, which currently has a delay, and clicking the antenna list in map view, which currently does not), but make the actual target change be treated as a delayable command (e.g. "Antenna 2 -> Kerbin, signal delay 00m20s").

I suggest putting off discussion of this issue until we've got a plan for whether, and how, we let antennas retarget themselves. We might decide we actually want to keep this "buggy" behavior.
