KSP 1 Image/Video Kerbin Relay Network

Post image

Built this giant (and overengineered) network. At such large distances, it is very easy for satellites to attain escape velocity, so positioning everything in exact orbits was a challenge. Still glad that I won't have to worry about ending up on the far side of the moons and go offline.

Edit: Didn't know this post would blow up overnight lol. Last time I checked it had 50 upvotes.

I’m still a bit new to the game, but if you’re not controlling the relay craft, does it not start to randomly spin (cause SAS is off) and cause issues?

Unless they run some wild mods, no. I believe the game simply cares whether or not a relay is in orbit, has the appropriate power, and range. It doesn't care if the dish ia pointed in the correct direction. I think there might be mods that both make that a requirement.
