Satellites are a poor platform for direct fire weapons. Even with sensors 3 and RT 3 (!!) my satellites have a tough time hitting AI' frigates and destroyers. Missiles are better but a normal sized AI fleet (30+ ships and fighters) can easily kill a large stack with minor loses.
Besides, 100 stack is a major investment and should be give a trouble. Otherwise, why bother

Agreed Oleg

The targeting time and systems for satellites are hampered and as such do make a poor direct fire platform with low level sensors.

There will be 10kt Armour plating for the satellites to complement the existing 5kt coating, on the next release as per your request
