Probe control has no lag anywhere in the Kerbin system, only signal strength issues. Between that and the omnidirectional dishes, I think the dishes must actually be devices for injecting the signal into subspace or something.

[@grantexploit5903]

Or rather, due to the conservation of momentum, towards.

[@polokratos8366]

@@grantexploit5903 Actually I think it was radial *out*, not *in*. The only part of the mission(s) that moves Kerbin around is the launch (and some part of the gravity turn). As we seen, launches were during the day, therefore Kerbin was being moved away from Kerbol. Once you're in orbit, Kerbin no longer gets the momentum from exhaust fumes, because they go off into interplanetary space (duh.)

That said, you system plan doesn't sound too bad. But honestly I'd wait maybe 1-2 months for the RTX 30xx series to become more avaliable for the new AMD cpus to launch. The new parts are much better value than the last generation and so its highly worthwhile to wait if you want to get the most for your money. I'd say an RTX 3070 and AMD 50xx cpu will be your best bet for a new system. The 3070 is equivlant to a 2080ti at only 500$ and the new AMD cpus are looking to be great value for the money as well.
