Do the laser antennas with the mod also work on multiplayer online servers? The vanilla laser antennas work very poorly if not at all.

Hey there! I absolutely love this mod! Kudos on the design!
Im a moderator for the sigma draconis server and we were wondering if we could have permision to incorporate this model in our own modpack, with full credits of course.
Thanks for your time!

Zoro, make a satellite system bridging the distance or have a look at the Deep Space Transceiver Biomech also made.

Can you please increase range of this mod? This probably my favorite mod but it really bums me out that it looses connection before reaching mars. So it probably needs a range of at least 5000 kilometers. PLZ PLZ PLZ DO THIS!

Does this require LOS?
Shanilla 22 Mar, 2017 @ 1:38pm 
The vanilla Laser Antenna has the same issue atm. Thats the reason im looking for an alternative antenna, hence beeing here :)

Anyone having problems with this Mod? Every time I place it i can't weld it up, because i can fly through it. Is this a problem with the Mod itself, or the new update?

What's the power requirements?
HachiiCatt 15 Feb, 2017 @ 9:30pm 
Does this have a large degree of motion or is it the same?

Mike Loeven - It's in the description.

What is the max range on this ?

The director of the web series wanted to ask the developer(s) of this mod with his own account, but he can’t seem to comment for some reason. So I am posting it for him. The message goes: “Hello. I am creating a web series based in Space Engineers and would like permission from the creator(s) of this mod to use it in said series. Your mod and account name(s) will be credited in the credits at the end of each episode it is used in.”

Thanks bud. Please post the link here when you've created a new upload for it :)
(WW) commanderoz 1 Jan, 2017 @ 7:30pm 
im looking into this mod now,
Shroom 28 Dec, 2016 @ 10:04am 
@Hazel nuthead Does that mean there is a new upload for this mod? I don't see him listed as a contributor
Hazel Nuthead  [author] 28 Dec, 2016 @ 1:21am 
@Gorea235 keenswh fourm user commanderoz is now looking after this mod so if you have any problems with this mod message him on the forum.
Shroom 23 Dec, 2016 @ 11:29am 
@Hazel Nuthead See if you can get the one for the large communications dish as well please :)
eliza 23 Dec, 2016 @ 11:10am 
thanks man. this is one of my favourite laser antenna mods, so i really appreciate it.
Hazel Nuthead  [author] 23 Dec, 2016 @ 5:06am 
I might if I can get the mod folder and Id file, I'll ask him later.
eliza 22 Dec, 2016 @ 2:28pm 
are you still maintaining the mod since darth has left? I'm just curious to know if it will continue to be stable
Hazel Nuthead  [author] 22 Dec, 2016 @ 8:30am 
@Colenor this info might be usless to you now but I tested it in space and it was connected to where I stopped at 968km. Communications where deliberately interrupted but both dishes could regain connection.
Shroom 13 Dec, 2016 @ 3:36pm 
@Colenor Try reading the comment history.
Colenor 13 Dec, 2016 @ 3:34pm 
anyone know if this still works?
Clanner Jake 10 Jul, 2016 @ 11:39am 
couldn't build the antenna, it faces straight up after you get to functional build level.
Woof 30 Jun, 2016 @ 12:56pm 
mine wont connect past 40 KM
Spartan5280 29 Jun, 2016 @ 11:32pm 
Loses connection past 40km.
Nero Vipus 5 May, 2016 @ 1:28pm 
If its Dishnetwork It won't work 25% of the time sat-mon. updates :P
Oiadine 17 Apr, 2016 @ 7:04pm 
i like both antennas...The huge satelite dish antenna and this one.
Darth Biomech  [author] 4 Apr, 2016 @ 3:07pm 
Yeah, the antena was more costly comparing to the vanila, but I guess that Devs changed the blueprints for it since. I'll look into it.
Shads76 4 Apr, 2016 @ 12:30pm 
I really like this mod, much better then the vanilla Laser Antenna but i feel that the components to build this are a little on the cheap side considering how far it can reach. For example the vanilla one uses 100x superconductors, this is the only problem I have with this amazing mod, keep up the good work :)
Maka 25 Feb, 2016 @ 6:59am 
no way to increase distance of antennas vanilla game?
Myst Leissa 14 Jan, 2016 @ 8:47pm 
Revisiting this mod: Just for the record Darth - I wasn't complaining it consumed power - I was merely saying i didn't expect it or anticipate it. Even though the nerf helped I think you should first and foremost remember this is YOUR mod, you make it your way.
Zefnoly 14 Jan, 2016 @ 12:32pm 
Forget my earlier message where i did not archieve a connection between 40k meters. I solved it.
Darth Biomech  [author] 14 Jan, 2016 @ 12:10pm 
I have no idea how to fix that D=
Soulkeeper 14 Jan, 2016 @ 11:41am 
hij you wil fix this ?

Zefnoly 31 Dec, 2015 @ 9:24am 
When you say it can reach 1000km? Do you mean like 1000 000 Meters? Im confused because i cant get a connection between 40 000 meters and they dont have any obstacles between...
Wolf Darkglade 15 Dec, 2015 @ 5:29am 
Because they look cool...
Golden Dragon 27 Nov, 2015 @ 5:52am 
Why i asked - they consume less power at the same distance from standard laser antenna...
Golden Dragon 27 Nov, 2015 @ 5:46am 
xD
Okay
Darth Biomech  [author] 27 Nov, 2015 @ 4:55am 
After so many people telling me "oh gosh why it consumes so much?!" and me nerfing it?
Golden Dragon 27 Nov, 2015 @ 12:44am 
Thx! Its work.
Another question - you not have plans to raise energy consumption on this and deep space antenna?
Darth Biomech  [author] 27 Nov, 2015 @ 12:01am 
Have you tried to turn it off and on again?
komputorgeek 24 Nov, 2015 @ 6:00pm 
Regarding painting green... I use green a lot... and many things (including KEEN things wind up black when you paint them green
YouTube.com/StoneLegion 15 Nov, 2015 @ 5:23pm 
Is this not working right now? I can't seem to get them to connect.
GrumpyPlok616 29 Oct, 2015 @ 3:35pm 
whats it called
Whaddageek 15 Oct, 2015 @ 1:50am 
Here; Red [i.imgur.com] is fine. Blue [imgur.com] looks good too. But try painting it Green [imgur.com] and it's Black instead.
Darth Biomech  [author] 14 Oct, 2015 @ 9:58am 
Yeah, this bug I know, but it before manifested itself only if you build it on a grid without power and it went away as soon as you turn the power back on again, so it was low-priority for me... Will fix that.
