does the probe have an antenna and a remote control block on it? it needs both an antenna and remote control block on it and the grid your using to connect to it also needs and antenna.

They both have laser antenna that have an active connection established and remote control blocks with power.

Hi, I control my ships having RC+Antenna from a station control seat using large block antenna set at max range.

I don't use laser but last time I tested I have noticed it needs a lot more power when searching the connection that will fail if not enough power.

I will add :

You should also add more power not only on the control station but on the ship you want to control.

I always test the power used on my Drones to be sure they will never go red warning on cockpit screen, the power may go over 100% used when other blocks are in use while the anrtenna is set at Max range.

I’ll give more power a shot.

I added a regular antenna to test and I was able to take control, I don’t know if that’s an indication of anything else but the regular antenna isn’t going to cut it for my goal.

Been a long time since I've use the laser, I stopped because I was losing the connection a bit too much (a long time ago), Engineer testing needed to see how it goes in the new game version.

That said, the game will change again in a few days that will add new antennas so we will have to retest all ;)

I’m gonna keep trying. I’m gonna start by setting up two static stations on nearby astroids to see if I can isolate the issue. I’ll let you know tomorrow.

Yea, I can’t seem to make the laser antenna work for anything. The regular antenna work fine.

I can establish the connection between the two laser antenna but cannot make the remote control work even though both ends have a remote control block and full batteries. The distance is only about 200m and I’ve throttled down the laser antenna power to make sure the power input is overkill.

Can’t get it to do anything except say it’s connected.

I just used the Portal search tool and found a recent report sharing specific STR with SE programmer saying he was able to reproduce the bug.

May get fixed in the next game update, hopefully

You may post your STR in the existing report to help or create a new bug report on the Support Portal, a SE programmer will tell you if duplicate/already reported.
