Yes you can add sensors to sat's
But I personally don't Until later in the game and by that time, I have a good defense force built. To do the Sat defense, were you move the sat's outward as you expand, requires 6-10 sat laying ships.
One Other thing, since you can't recover mines.As I expand, I normally destroy them form area's deep within my empire.
This is a risk because if the AI moves ships into your systems before they break off relations then they can attack a couple of your planets. but when they try to escape to refuel, they stall at your defense lines. You
can then take them out with ships. But if they happen to use the solar panels, ( I have not seen this yet.) It could be assumed that they could then repeatly attack inside your systems and force to have to hunt them down.
