Thanks

Well, you can do a few things with them:

(1) If they are built and sitting in your cargo on your planet, you can launch them for protection...assuming they have weapons on board.

(2) If you have a ship with sat launchers, you can load them up and carry them somewhere and launch them into space. In my opinion, since they shoot so poorly, the best place to put them is defending a wormhole so any intruder gets fired upon as they enter. Usually at close range.

(3) If you just want to haul them somewhere else, put them on a ship with cargo hold and take them to another planet and then unload them.

For any better expert advice, someone else will come along.

Also, do a search and see details about bulding multiple sats. You see, they are kind of like one big ship even though you see there are many of them.

Cheers!
