I tested SATs with seekers next. Hot seat tactical-auto and strategic.
Strategic is different from tactical-auto. DEFENDERS FIRED FIRST IN STRATEGIC COMBAT.

I am now looking only at Strategic Combat with replay.

All 24 Seeker SATs fired at the same ship. Used 4 SAT designs (identical CSM4) with different target strategies. Opponent had different ships types as before. The Seeker SATs get creamed.

Looked at earlier experiment with Direct Fire weapons. It seems the SAT stack will use only the first SATs firing strategy.

I used more Engine Damage SATs. No way are they switching targets like they should (are the beams the same color of Computer Virus?). I think targets are switched when a different SAT design or Weapon type is fired.

If I could only text read the *.CMB combat replay file it would be easy to evaluate the results. Otherwise it will take a lot more tightly controlled tests. It would also help to know each weapons beam color and appearance.

SAT FIRING ORDER
SAT stack firing order is: first laid - first to fire.
SAT stack firing order shown in Lay SAT Order right window SATs in System.
Order can be changed by recovering all SATs of a design and relaying them.
I suggest for simplicity that a alphabetical order naming be used.

SENSOR BONUS
A "brain SAT" with sensors or talisman gives the bonus to the whole stack.
