[Tarkin]

Hello,

I am glad you brought up this subject. I have had mixed results with satillites. I am as green as they get when it comes to SE IV. Although I was fairly good at SE III.

In the early part of the game [When I'm still around:-)] I will build sats with missles for an early defence for my colonies. Sometimes they will do quite well against the enemy. Other times it is as if they are not even there [I play Strategic only BTW]

I have no experience with Weapon Platforms as of yet.
