Satellite launch.

Not that I know of. The way I do it is create an escort with the capacity to hold only 1 of whatever sat size I'm using. You can then send this out with your Porta Builder. Transfer one sat and then launch it on target. Very frustrating limitation.

No.

or will you get the message construction cancelled due to inadequate storage?

Correct, that is what happens, see Link:

perhaps, next time I will just wait a little longer for the larger hull, and put the Storage component on it. One ship is easier than two to deal with.

Thanks for the quick replies.

The link you refrenced, froze my browser. might just be my isp being anal tho.

That's what I do against the AI. But getting those spy sats up is real important in multiplayer. Use fewer engines, it doesn't have to get there fast, and it's doomed in combat anyway. Put supply storage, or a resupply pod -- shipyard will repair it.

Hmmm... the Encyclopedia Malfadorica (click) is not usually such a problem, no adds, graphics or nuthin'. Try some other time, poke around, usually pretty easy.
