Re: Satellites work sometimes and not other times
the problem with launching all of them is that they appear in one group, and might be on the wrong side of the planet. I usually launch them multiple times is Groups of two or three, that way I get good coverage

Does this really work , thought they clump together always in combat view ?

He must be talking about in Tactical Combat; I've never tried to launch a satellite in Tactical. Launching from a planet on the main map does put all the sats in one group, since at least Version 1.27

Yes, I've tried that in combat sim. They are separate Groups in tactical but it seems they favor one side of the planet (see attached pic), so the spread is not well-balanced.
