Interesting....

I usually put 10-25 satellites up with 2 capital missles a piece to help defend important frontier planets. Its generally the first defense system I get into place. It seems to do fairly well for small fleets (20 to 50 missiles). Warfleets of course are another story but I dont expect my planets to initially be able to handle a warfleet.

Again.. stock game.

Has anyone else tried this? Satellites seem to be useless for anything else but spying.

I have, with mixed results. A lot of times I've found the enemy can get in and kill the planet before the sats can get to them. The missles might take them out anyway, if they don't have sufficent PDC, but trading a colony for a handful of ships usually is a bad trade.
