Ok, so while im playing for quite some weeks now i had my first major combat today. Im talking pbw btw. Firstly, my warppoint was only lightly defended, with satellites. Now, here comes: When playing against the AI i always noticed that satellites start adjacent to wormholes. Because of this i always design satellites with ripper beams. The mod we were playing had an extended range mount, adding +2 to range of sat weapons. So in fact my sats had a range of 4, which is that bad if they are supposed for a first-round-defender-kill. Now the 60 ships jump in and guess what ? my sat group starts 10 fields away from the wormhole, while the hostile fleet starts massed in a clump to the left adjacent to the wormhole. OC my sats didnt shot, so my defenses were broken without losses at all.
Now im wondering, WTF ?!? WTF designed the game in a way, that satellites start 10 spaces away from the thing they are supposed to protect ? Im pissed, really pissed.
