- Corrects antennaDiameter for all Coatl Aerospace and Tantares/TantaresSP dishes to match model diameters in-game at stock scale
- Adjusts some referenceGain values for omnis to make more sense compared to stock parts.
- Changes TantaresSP Emerald HGA from omni to directional. It seems small helical antennas are classed as omni, but this is a decent half-meter length helix-type antenna with tracking mode that was clearly intended as a directional high-gain, so 0.2m directional made more sense to me than its current measly 1.85 dBi omni setting. I'm not an antenna expert so the value was roughly based off of Googling but results in a starting L-band gain of 7.6 dBi.
- Adds parts configs for Knes and SSR MicroSat Revived (SquigglySpaceResearch)
Update Coatl parts config with more accurate values based on in-game models rather than real-world scale. Add parts names.
Support for Knes antenna parts
Support for SSR MicroSat (SquiggsySpaceResearch)

For parts created by mod X, pattern is to not include NEEDS[x].
The part simply doesn't exist if X is not present. Applies to KNES and Squiggy
(Edit: looks like Tantares patches do this. Eh. Well, my preferences is to not include the NEEDS in this case.)

Why the gain setting so low? (This might be the lowest gain value anything is configured for.)

Changes seem reasonable to me. |
