Aack, I just checked, and you're right. That silly patch messed up my satellite deploying strategy. Sorry for the out-dated advice, I haven't been playing much since I applied the Last patch.
So far the only thing I can come up with that produces results even a little bit similar is to have a space station with several satellite bays on it, then deploy them individually in combat. That's a serious PITA though, and I suspect that they would all clump back into one group after the combat was over.
Oh well, they still make decent defensive units as they don't cost anything to maintain. Still, I am for the idea of being able to deploy satellites into different Groups if I want to or, if we're getting greedy, the ability to select formations for satellites.
