Spy Satellite (for Easy LIDAR Homing Script)

Update July 2020: Scripts updated and appearance tweaked. Camera viewing angles improved. Additional laser antennas installed. Target panel made visible to camera. After pasting it into your world, press the button on the side to realign the solar panels.

A simple solar-powered spy satellite designed to work with my Guideline Planetary Defense System, or anything else using Alysius' Easy LIDAR Homing Script. It's designed to be operated by remote control via the laser antenna. Simply control it, activate the camera, point it at the target, and then use the target painter to grab the coordinates. Then copy and paste those coordinates from the R_TARGET display panel into the CustomData field of the panel named R_TARGET on the launcher, set it to use Mode 1, and let her fly. The satellite's onboard antenna operates in passive mode to allow it to detect enemies without giving away its own position. You could theoretically have any number of these in the game, each giving you intel and targeting for a wide area.
