Well, Wardad didn't say what the test conditions were. I would expect he was using the simulator, rather than engineering a hotseat game to do this. Therefore, it would not be a warp point defense. The ships would be moving in from outside, and since they are the moving ones, they will tend to fire first, unless the satellites are using range-increasing mounts that give them enough of a range advantage that the ships move themsleves into the sats' range a turn before they can shoot back.
