Do the laser antennas with the mod also work on multiplayer online servers? The vanilla laser antennas work very poorly if not at all.

Hey there! I absolutely love this mod! Kudos on the design!
Im a moderator for the sigma draconis server and we were wondering if we could have permision to incorporate this model in our own modpack, with full credits of course.
Thanks for your time!

Zoro, make a satellite system bridging the distance or have a look at the Deep Space Transceiver Biomech also made.

Can you please increase range of this mod? This probably my favorite mod but it really bums me out that it looses connection before reaching mars. So it probably needs a range of at least 5000 kilometers. PLZ PLZ PLZ DO THIS!

Does this require LOS?
Shanilla Mar 22, 2017 @ 1:38pm 
The vanilla Laser Antenna has the same issue atm. Thats the reason im looking for an alternative antenna, hence beeing here :)

Anyone having problems with this Mod? Every time I place it i can't weld it up, because i can fly through it. Is this a problem with the Mod itself, or the new update?

What's the power requirements?
HachiiCatt Feb 15, 2017 @ 9:30pm 
Does this have a large degree of motion or is it the same?

What is the max range on this ?

The director of the web series wanted to ask the developer(s) of this mod with his own account, but he can’t seem to comment for some reason. So I am posting it for him. The message goes: “Hello. I am creating a web series based in Space Engineers and would like permission from the creator(s) of this mod to use it in said series. Your mod and account name(s) will be credited in the credits at the end of each episode it is used in.”

Thanks bud. Please post the link here when you've created a new upload for it :)
(WW) commanderoz Jan 1, 2017 @ 7:30pm 
im looking into this mod now,
Shroom Dec 28, 2016 @ 10:04am 
@Hazel nuthead Does that mean there is a new upload for this mod? I don't see him listed as a contributor
Hazel Nuthead  [author] Dec 28, 2016 @ 1:21am 
@Gorea235 keenswh fourm user commanderoz is now looking after this mod so if you have any problems with this mod message him on the forum.
Shroom Dec 23, 2016 @ 11:29am 
@Hazel Nuthead See if you can get the one for the large communications dish as well please :)
moon fangirl Dec 23, 2016 @ 11:10am 
thanks man. this is one of my favourite laser antenna mods, so i really appreciate it.
Hazel Nuthead  [author] Dec 23, 2016 @ 5:06am 
I might if I can get the mod folder and Id file, I'll ask him later.
moon fangirl Dec 22, 2016 @ 2:28pm 
are you still maintaining the mod since darth has left? I'm just curious to know if it will continue to be stable
Hazel Nuthead  [author] Dec 22, 2016 @ 8:30am 
@Colenor this info might be usless to you now but I tested it in space and it was connected to where I stopped at 968km. Communications where deliberately interrupted but both dishes could regain connection.
Shroom Dec 13, 2016 @ 3:36pm 
@Colenor Try reading the comment history.
Colenor Dec 13, 2016 @ 3:34pm 
anyone know if this still works?
Clanner Jake Jul 10, 2016 @ 11:39am 
couldn't build the antenna, it faces straight up after you get to functional build level.
Woof Jun 30, 2016 @ 12:56pm 
mine wont connect past 40 KM
Spartan5280 Jun 29, 2016 @ 11:32pm 
Loses connection past 40km.
Garviel Loken May 5, 2016 @ 1:28pm 
If its Dishnetwork It won't work 25% of the time sat-mon. updates :P
Oiadine Apr 17, 2016 @ 7:04pm 
i like both antennas...The huge satelite dish antenna and this one.
Darth Biomech  [author] Apr 4, 2016 @ 3:07pm 
Yeah, the antena was more costly comparing to the vanila, but I guess that Devs changed the blueprints for it since. I'll look into it.
Shads76 Apr 4, 2016 @ 12:30pm 
I really like this mod, much better then the vanilla Laser Antenna but i feel that the components to build this are a little on the cheap side considering how far it can reach. For example the vanilla one uses 100x superconductors, this is the only problem I have with this amazing mod, keep up the good work :)
Maka Feb 25, 2016 @ 6:59am 
no way to increase distance of antennas vanilla game?
Myst Leissa Jan 14, 2016 @ 8:47pm 
Revisiting this mod: Just for the record Darth - I wasn't complaining it consumed power - I was merely saying i didn't expect it or anticipate it. Even though the nerf helped I think you should first and foremost remember this is YOUR mod, you make it your way.
Zefnoly Jan 14, 2016 @ 12:32pm 
Forget my earlier message where i did not archieve a connection between 40k meters. I solved it.
Darth Biomech  [author] Jan 14, 2016 @ 12:10pm 
I have no idea how to fix that D=
Soulkeeper Jan 14, 2016 @ 11:41am 
hij you wil fix this ?

Zefnoly Dec 31, 2015 @ 9:24am 
When you say it can reach 1000km? Do you mean like 1000 000 Meters? Im confused because i cant get a connection between 40 000 meters and they dont have any obstacles between...
Wolf Darkglade Dec 15, 2015 @ 5:29am 
Because they look cool...
Golden Dragon Nov 27, 2015 @ 5:52am 
Why i asked - they consume less power at the same distance from standard laser antenna...
Golden Dragon Nov 27, 2015 @ 5:46am 
xD
Okay
Darth Biomech  [author] Nov 27, 2015 @ 4:55am 
After so many people telling me "oh gosh why it consumes so much?!" and me nerfing it?
Golden Dragon Nov 27, 2015 @ 12:44am 
Thx! Its work.
Another question - you not have plans to raise energy consumption on this and deep space antenna?
Darth Biomech  [author] Nov 27, 2015 @ 12:01am 
Have you tried to turn it off and on again?
komputorgeek Nov 24, 2015 @ 6:00pm 
Regarding painting green... I use green a lot... and many things (including KEEN things wind up black when you paint them green
YouTube.com/StoneLegion Nov 15, 2015 @ 5:23pm 
Is this not working right now? I can't seem to get them to connect.
GrumpyPlok616 Oct 29, 2015 @ 3:35pm 
whats it called
Whaddageek Oct 15, 2015 @ 1:50am 
Here; Red [i.imgur.com] is fine. Blue [imgur.com] looks good too. But try painting it Green [imgur.com] and it's Black instead.
Darth Biomech  [author] Oct 14, 2015 @ 9:58am 
Yeah, this bug I know, but it before manifested itself only if you build it on a grid without power and it went away as soon as you turn the power back on again, so it was low-priority for me... Will fix that.
