@computercat04 they will follow the homeworld at all times the same way a solar panel tracks the sun, the Mariner 10 dish does this. No real gameplay benefit but it...

@DeltaDizzy the Ranger dish needs to work at least up to Eve since it was also used on Mariner 1 & 2, keep that in mind when balancing it.

@DeltaDizzy The ``bluedog_mariner2Antenna`` is the omni antenna on top of the truss. Mariner 2 features both the dish and the omni. But the Omni should have less range than the...


Oh re IDCSP they were deployed like at 80-90%ish of GEO altitude. So when balancing them I think GEO distance at DSN1 would be good.

Maybe we should convert either the MOL tracking antenna or the rack dish into a relay? BDB only has a few and most of the probe ones probably are not...

Sure why not. I dont see a problem with that idea.
