I've got a geostationary trio around Kerbin, and similar trios around Mun and Minmus. I don't have any dedicated relay infrastructure outside Kerbin's SOI yet, but most of my planetary probes are incidental relays.
The one en route to Jool served to keep 100% comms uptime on my Duna/Ike orbital exploration probe, then I parked that probe in a Molniya-ish orbit of Duna to get it peeking over the ecliptic after I got all the science I could with it.
My next few launches are going to be putting relay networks and scansats on everything in the inner system while my Mun and Minmus stations do their science lab thing.
You mean you have three satellites all holding hands together after a couple time warps
Kerbal Engineer Redux helps match orbital periods a lot more carefully. Then either setting the engine to 0.5% max thrust or having RCS lets you actually execute the numbers it tells you you need.
that sounds like a lot of maintenance missions and tedium. I like my solution of flooding the zone with redundant satellites that are a consistent 90% useful
When you actually match the periods right it doesn't need maintenance
My solution is to have ~6 highly irregular orbits at different longitudes. 90% of the time they're going to be way up at the slow useful part of their orbit.
Heck yeah that’s awesome.
