Satellites and multiple targets

[Wardad]

I wonder if a stack of Weapon Platforms behave this badly.

Anyway, The Ionic (engine damage) beam has the same sickly green appearance as the Computer Virus. The other weapons were easy differentiate. Mixing up the direct fire weapon types in a stack seems to be the best way to multiplex the firing.

I futher mixed up a stack by creating two engine damage sats named SAT_A_ED and SAT_A1_ED and seperated the firing order by deploying other SATs inbetween. It helps.

I have been playing a simultaneous game now and there's no manual deployment. All of the SATs in a tranport get deployed. Is it first loaded first laid (Sorority System) or alphabetical order? What about remote load command? Which one gets loaded first.

I've had enough of SATs for now. I only use them early game anyway. Except for recon sensors.
