This is a good idea, but there are some drawbacks:
1) You can't easily move your PD around the tactical combat grid.
2) Your PD is susceptible to enemy PD.
3) Your PD is unshielded and unarmored.
4) Upgrading your PD requires constructing new sats.
Another fun thing to do is to put a mine layer component on a transport. Lay a mine at the end of your turn if the enemy is nearby. When the enemy pounces on your "sitting duck" it goes KABOOM!
