How to kill satellites

[DirectorTsaarx]

I've also discovered that massive mount weapons (requires a baseship-size vessel) work really well against sats & fighters... a massive-mount PPB can wipe out 5 fighters at a single shot (at least until someone decides to implement the "one shot, one kill" idea).

Obviously, satellites can be harder to destroy, but still...

I'd also like to see the satellites show damage statistics during tactical combat. If I'm using, say, weapon destroying weapons, I'd like the satellite (and weapon platform and fighter) displays to show that I've destroyed some weapons, not just show a generic picture of the unit I've been pummelling. I want to know if I've destroyed some components, especially for weapon platforms. If the weapon platform only needs one more hit to be destroyed, maybe I only want to fire one weapon, and then let my troop transport land and take over the population and facilities.
