Playing with Version 1.41 on a low tech game.

I am attempting to attack a planet with 10 Satellites. It wiped out my 20+ ship fleet. I thought ok I don't have any point defense cannons. My mistake so I built 10 ships with 8 point defense cannons each. Went in with a 30 ship fleet and attacked. The other ships were destroyed and defense cannon ships ran for the corners.

Ok maybe I made a mistake again. I decide to investigate the strategies. It was on Optimal firing range. So I decided to set up my own since they seem to be avoiding the sats.

I created one called 'Sats' and set it up to attack Sattelites first and clicked on the use type before targetting priorites. They just sit with the rest of the fleet and do nothing.

They also sit there if I put them in a fleet by themselves.

Am I missing something? Do I have to set something up special to have ships go after Satellites. They destroy everything else in the sector except the planet which I have turned off in the attacks. I want to land on the planet with my troop transports but not before those satellites are gone.

Any ideas?

I don't remember having problems with this in with earlier Versions. I upgraded from 1.19 to 1.41. Hmmmmmm
