I try placing them around warp points/planets - but everyone just flies away from them and then stays away. Shouldn't they be able to move at least 1 or 2 spaces a turn, or have their weapon ranges doubled a ship's (I mean a battlestation is pretty freakin huge)??



Even in the regular game, base mounts extend range on direct-fire weapons, making them powerful and fairly able to defend planets and warp points. Normal-game sat and WP mounts are also good, but don't increase range. Using long-range missiles on them can be good, though. Satellites with high-tech point-defense can be helpful to protect planets from missiles. However, the ideas to deploy them better, and to give them tactical thrusters, are good ones.

Also, how do I change the atmosphere of a planet?



Atmosphere conVersion facility, I think...

Finally, has anyone EVER gotten subjugation to work?? I will be massive compared to another empire, but they never make this treaty (or protectorate)... They seem to either defy me or surrender.



I think maybe the AI can't handle the concept yet - anyone seen the AI do this? I believe it works for human players in multi-player, however.
