Technical
The Communotron 16 has a data rate of 5Mits/s and a data cost of 5. It's the most inefficient transmitting device, but the first one the player gets his hands on. It's small, weights almost nothing and can be placed almost anywhere without having to worry about list on the vessel.
Changes
- Added a function for science points to be transferred to Kerbin and energy to be consumed while transmitting as well as a slight mechics modifications
- Initial Release
