Short answer, sattelites suck.

Were there any other ships in the sector, like from a third party both of you were allies with? That will screw up you warp point defense and move your ships and units to the edge.

But even if your sats had been close to the warp point, sats suck so it wouldn't have mattered.

Yeah such a useful tool is nullified due to a bad stacking or lack of stacking option in the game...I wonder if this will be any better or different in SEV

In the early game, satellites with missiles will keep the AI raiders at bay. But as soon as PDC’s arrive on the board, they are just a waste of resources. Against humans, they are almost worthless. They do make good cheap recon devices once you have the sensors to put on them.

A stack of sats on a WP can work if armed as he armed them, with Ripper Beams (or WMG) Then they provide a no-maintance punch to back up any other defenses you may have. They probably won't get more than a single salvo off, though..

[Atrocities]

Satellite are indeed worthless. However, if you send a request to Aaron to address this issue in SE V, he might just do that. You never know.

[NullAshton]

Perhaps you could use sats to back up a base? Its possible that they'll attack the base, and not the sats...

[Frederick_d_Ohlmann]

PDC will still shoot at the sat, ignoring the base. So sat will still be worthless.
