For humans, yes, a button to tell the planet to automatically dump it's units out into space if they can be deployed would be great. For the AI it's a problem.
The satellite minister has been altered somewhat is current betas. The beta testers have noticed AI problems with satellites and satellite layers though. With the new more agressive deployment they get put into space before a layer can arrive to carry them off to a warp point. But the layers don't take sats from space over a planet so it results in all the sats being over planets and hardly any being put on warp point where they do the most good. It's a sort of catch-22. Some sort of intelligent algorithm has to be developed to let it distribute them to both sorts of locations.
Mines never seem to get deployed around planets, but if they did auto-deploy then it would be even harder to get them out to other locations. Sats can be recovered, mines cannot.
