[Atrocities]

AJC is correct. It works. I also launch my Sats in Groups of 100. Thats for Baseships with 25 sat launchers each. You only get two engines with the BS, so I do this:
1. Computer
2. 2 Engines
3. 25 Sat Launchers
4. Ship Yard component
5. Quatum Reactor
6. Balance filled up with Solor Sailes to add movements.

I then design 3 types of Resource Sats.
# 1
Mineral
1. Computer
2. Mineral Miner

I design one sat for each of the mineral types based upon # 1. Farmer, and Rad.

I then move my 4 BS's into location and construct 25 of the type of sat I need on each ship. I then remote deploy them. I have had up to 500 mineral Sats on one asteriod. I know that a tad excessive, but I wanted to see how many I could deploy.

I think they have a great use, and they do add up the minerals over time and in great enough numbers. They are worth the time and expense of producing and deploying.
