Default Re: Unit Grouping Question

The game really handles satellites poorly. I used to do what you would and launch them a few at a time, but they still tended to be clumped on one side of the planet. Now with one huge group they are really worthless since you have to fire all or nothing. If you have a mix of satellites it is frustrating to watch a ship almost destroyed by direct fire and then if there are missile satellites next in the stack they will all fire missiles at the near dead ship and then if there are more direct fire satellites they will go ahead and destroy the ship that has 100 missiles targeted on it anyway. Very frustrating. Satellites should be evenly spread around a planet or jump point even if all launched at the same time.
