signal sharing between planet and orbit

Post by bullipatty »

TL;DR
Allow radars to share signals between planet and orbit.

What?
I think there should be a way to communicate to/between platforms.
I suggest adding a radar UI to select where the signal is shared or adding a dedicated satellite dish with UI.

the UI should offer options like these settings/channels:
  • local: share signal with others on the same surface.
  • shared: share signal with others on the planet and platforms orbiting the planet.
  • global: share signal with others regardless of location.
they should only share their signal with other of the same setting.
global sharing might be a bit much though.
Why?
because it allows for far more automation and fiddling with circuits :D

Definitely agree. It's so annoying to have to work around this by sending items from platforms down to the surface, and even worse if you have to send a rocket up just to signal it from the surface.
