Even the AI seems to know to ignore sats that are deployed on the wrong side of the planet and hit the planet first instead.
The AI is probably using Nearest in its targeting priorities. If it's using Strongest, as well, any Weapon Platforms on the planet should be targetted before any orbiting sats, regardless of where they are.

Cap'n Q

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the
human mind to correlate all of its contents. We live on a placid
island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was
not meant that we should go far. -- HP Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu"
