Bug #13722
Kerbnet not using relays
10%
Description
On a mission to Duna, I found that the relay orbiting Duna that I set up for a previous mission was not bouncing my signal when my antenna was extended (when it wasn't extended, it did use the relay). the Relay had a much better connection to KSC than my vessel had, so i'm assuming it should have used the relay.

I meet the same bug.
When my vessel can connect to KSC directly, the antenna didn't use the relay. The Relay had a much better connection to KSC than my vessel had. If my vessel can't connect to KSC, the antenna used the relay. If the antenna wasn't extended, it used the relay. The antenna of my vessel is 2G. The antenna of the first Relay is 2G. If the antenna of the first Relay become 100G, my vessel used the relay.
By the way, the connection between my vessel in the map is red, when saw from the Relay. While it is green, when saw from my vessel. This happened when the Relay is 2G or 100G. But the 100G Relay would work.(This problem is caused by MechJeb2 Mod.)
Version of My KSP is 1.3.0.1804 (WindowsPlayer x64) zh-cn. It has MechJeb2 Mod. Before the test, I have removed the KSP Interstellar Extended MOD.
The save and game logs are attached.
Name of my bug vessel is Duna_core_min.

Today, I did more test without any mod.The bug is also exist.
This bug can be repeated many times. In the test, I have find that the Relay satellite also has this bug. The Relay antenna alway extended. So I think whether antenna extended isn't the key point. The antenna isn't extended, perhaps mean it isn't working and the internal antenna would be uesd.
I think, the key point of this bug is that the class of the antenna on the vessel is equal the class of the antenna on the Relay satellite. Perhaps, they think the antennas are same class, the Relay can't have better connection. But the Relay can connect another bigger Relay, while the vessel can't connect the bigger one.
