Orbital Relay Probe (Vanilla)

Description
This thing came in handy in our robotic mission to a foreign planet so I figured others might have some use for it as well.

The Mars Orbital Relay Probe is a simple drone intended to act as an uplink between Earth and other celestial bodies.

Get it to orbit by any preferred means, configure laser antenna and launch it towards a GPS point 45-43km above intended planet. Enable autopilot to said GPS, set action "deploy MORP" to be done when it reaches destination. Lasts for 91 days more or less acting as a long distance relay projecting a 50km bubble around it at destination at 1000km distance, your mileage may vary. For vanilla planet distances you may want to have a midway relay as well or the powerdraw might exceed what the MORP can output.

If you use manual control to look around, be careful not to cut the LOS of laser antenna by turning too much or the probe could get stranded

It houses 42MW worth of energy production for the laser antenna, comes preloaded with uranium and is ready to go out of the box. Operates in zero-g only.

Thanks so much!

Absolutely if it still works, have fun

Really cool work on this! I'm a server admin and would love to use this as part of an event. Assuming we provide attribution, are you open to us using it?

https://steamproxy.net/workshop/filedetails/?id=1646871998 That should cover the main three, I am going to make a more production oriented hab set so I left out the drop-off silo as I'll likely incorporate it there.

Alright, give me a few hours and I'll see if I can't reverse engineer those from the pics, don't have the old ones anymore.

Would be nice if you could do that. Im not very good at building things, including simple things.

They're not, didn't deem them interesting enough for publication since they were just decor pieces for my own world. It was just a circle with a spinny thing in the centre and carbon texture for crop, but if you want I can recreate those and put em up.

In your "Children of the Stars 2069" Collection, there are more modules like a farm and Solar arrays than there are in the collection itself. Are they on the Workshop?

can you make a new Exploratory Research Vessel
