Actually, satellites can't be trained at all. Nor can fighters or drones.

Missile sats are often worthwhile, especially in Proportions. Combine them with fighter defences to help overwhelm enemy PD.

I build lots of sats: As has been pointed out before- they cost no maintenance and (once launched) no cargo space, so if your storage is maxed out and you have resources going to waste and you have a spare build queue then there's no reason whatsoever not to build them. Even if they don't hit anything, at the very least they will soak up a few rounds of enemy fire.
