Oh man that reminds me a lot to Kerbal Space Program, those times I lost communication because of a wrong turn and the antenna/solar panel faced the wrong way

I like to think at least a few NASA engineers come to meetings with some brilliant ideas....that were cooked up at the 1am mark of a 7 hour weekend KSP binge.

You have to agree that "skip to morning" button really works.

A bad case of planet between antenna and space center! Is orbit stable? If so, launch and maneuver into position a huge network of relays until connectivity is restored. If not, watch while probe crashes and burns onto the celestial body. An automatic realignment function would be nice...

How? What mods do you use? I played pretty much without mods, so if you could also mention your whole mods' stack would be cool.

In vanilla, all antennas are omnidirectional and as long as there is a working solar panel on a probe, it can be used as a relay sat.

I exaggerated a bit, it only happened with solar panels.

But it does gives you a similar feeling when you schedule a maneuver on a point where the planet/moon blocks your signal, and you only realize after it's too late
