Default Re: A question about satellites

I love to place satellites in clouds, or stars, or warps that say they mask scanning. It gives me a chance to watch the coming and goings at least until their scan level goes up abit. And Im not positive if it stacks but later I like to add stealth armor to sats and still try to place them in non-scannable positions.

I also like to make seperate warp-defense sats. I can use "Light Satellite Mount" to double the weapons since they will usually be firing point-blank as someone comes thru the warp. Its a very different build strategy in many ways from planetary defense.
