Pseudo-Infinite Laser Antenna

Description
This mod does one simple thing. It will modify the max range of both the large and small Laser Antennas and change them both to 1000000000000m. This makes the range essentially infinite so you can do more cool stuff.

Edit: I have changed this version of the mod back to LOS and uploaded a second mod with LOS disabled. Just search my files for "Pseudo-Infinite Laser Antenna - NoLos" to find it.

@Darkmask Lasers do not go on forever - beams attentuate and lose cohesion, causing low amplitude and signal loss.

Space Engineers bugs out after 2^31 meters, so your antenna for all intents and purposes is infinite. If you were outside of the antenna range, you would be outside of the playable game area by a factor of 200.

Can't get this to work properly. Occasionally you get a connection but then it cycles back and forth between connected and connecting. If you get objects to show up on HUD and stand in antenna range then you can see that it is connecting to remote LAs but then disconnecting and restarting.

Does this still function correctly for anyone? i have it at the top of my load list but if the block i think is the correct block its just a small dark grey cube, i really like the idea of interplanetary comm links, but it is impossible to do that with the vanilla. -Please Help-

I was hoping that something like this would exist. You just made interplanetary communication alot easier and cheaper. Thank you so much. (PS: the laser antenna originally should have unlimited range since lasers can go on forever with ever fading. This is mostly due to their single wavelenght and that fact they can only go in 1 diretion PERIOD.)

Can you use this as a rangefinder to a planet or another ship without knowing its location, only able to see it?
