11 months ago Using a red indicator to show when no control is available.
A connection with a control point (such as the KSC on Kerbin) will have no control available
A "RC-L01 Remote Guidance Unit" part provides remote control to
- Itself
- Other craft reachable via a relay connection
- Other craft reachable via it's own relay antenna + the other craft's total antennae power
It does not provide control through only-direct connections (thus the rover remains un-controlled)
KSC(or any other planetoid's DSN) acts as a guidance control point.
See #60
Currently it is not clear which craft have remote control without inspecting the connections from the craft all the way to the nearest DSN or Remote Guidance Core.
Use the node-graph lib from the Delta-v page to traverse the CommNet signal network to finding a connection to a DSN/RGC end-node. Finding the absolute shortest(strongest) signal path is not strictly necessary, but having a final connection strength reading would be great for the user.
