The Communotron 16 is a deployable antenna item for the science transfer system. Like the Communotron 88-88, the Communotron 16 can be deployed and retracted through action groups or manually.
Currently[outdated], it has "PhysicsSignificance = 1", making it a zero drag and massless part.
Product description
“ | The Communotron 16 is a versatile and lightweight antenna, suitable for moderate-range communication, long-range backup communication, eavesdropping on secret government operations. | ” |
Technical
The Communotron 16 has a data rate of 0.8 Mits/s and a data cost of 10 e/Mit. While by far the slowest transmitting device, it also uses the least amount of electricity and is the first one the player gets their hands on. It's small and can be placed almost anywhere.
Changes
- cost changed from 150 to 300 (and made significant)
- "PhysicsSignificance = 1" added. The part now has 0 mass and drag, despite the listed values.
- Added function
- Extended description
- Initial Release
