Satellite Formation setting

Nope, Sat movement does NOT work. The engines in the Devnull mod are non-functional.

For Gold, Sats get boosted range, so it dosen't matter which side they start up on.
Its quite easy to add & edit the mounts as nessesary.

(The distribution will still leave you with sats on the wrong side, but they get enough bonus range to shoot across the planet anyways)

in Version 1.35, combat movement for bases is working. sat movement is not. i thought i heard that in 1.49 that regular movement for bases and sat movement also worked, but i could have been wrong. i cant find the file to download in the new mod directory on shrapnels server to see, and the copy on the PBW server is obviously unreachable.

I checked, Puke, they don't work. *Base* movement I didn't check.

AFAIK they can only change its height, modify its orbital velocity and turn over its axis. They cannot stop its orbital movement, nor move across the space like a drone (I'm not sure fused

I believe that combat movement for sats might not be so good: The sats might move towards the enemy and leave the planet undefended. I already use a mount modification for sats with higher range and this works very well in my experience.
