Question concerning satilites

Can a weapon mounted in a satilite be fired at enemy ships?

Yes. Provided the ship is in range. Thats important, and a good reason to place SATs on your side of the worm hole. When the enemy comes through in the center, they are in range, and you should have a first shot.

For more indepth analysis, search for the SAT and MULTI targeting thread. (it's not the exact name)

Satellites are ideal for seekers. The size of the ship that launches it doesn't make any difference to a seeker. It will hit just as hard and have just as much range. And, seekers have greater range than direct-fire weapons. Finally, satellites don't pay maintenance. So you are better off in several ways for using satellites as missile launchers.

On the other hand, direct-fire weapons benefit from larger mounts on larger vehicles. So they're good for bases and ships. Satellites with missiles and bases or WPs with heavy or massive direct-fire weapons are an excellent combination.
