   Used to interact with CommNet for a given vessel.
   Obtained by calling :prop:`Vessel.Comms`.

   .. property:: bool CanCommunicate { get; }

      Whether the vessel can communicate with KSC.

      :Game Scenes: Flight

   .. property:: bool CanTransmitScience { get; }

      Whether the vessel can transmit science data to KSC.

      :Game Scenes: Flight

   .. property:: double SignalStrength { get; }

      Signal strength to KSC.

      :Game Scenes: Flight

   .. property:: double SignalDelay { get; }

      Signal delay to KSC in seconds.

      :Game Scenes: Flight

   .. property:: double Power { get; }

      The combined power of all active antennae on the vessel.

      :Game Scenes: Flight

   .. property:: System.Collections.Generic.IList<CommLink> ControlPath { get; }

      The communication path used to control the vessel.

.. class:: CommLink

   Represents a communication link between two nodes in the network.

   .. property:: CommLinkType Type { get; }

      The type of link.

      :Game Scenes: All

   .. property:: double SignalStrength { get; }

      Signal strength of the link.

.. enum:: CommLinkType

   The type of a communication link.
   See :prop:`CommLink.Type`.


   .. enumerator:: Home

      Link is to a base station on Kerbin.


   .. enumerator:: Control

      Link is to a control source, for example a manned spacecraft.


   .. enumerator:: Relay

      Link is to a relay satellite.



.. struct:: CommNode

   Represents a communication node in the network. For example, a vessel or the KSC.

   .. function:: CommNode(string name, bool isHome, bool isControlPoint, bool isVessel, Vessel vessel)

      Construct a CommNode from the values of its fields.


   .. property:: string Name { get; }

      Name of the communication node.

   .. property:: bool IsHome { get; }

      Whether the communication node is on Kerbin.

   .. property:: bool IsControlPoint { get; }

      Whether the communication node is a control point, for example a manned vessel.

   .. property:: bool IsVessel { get; }
