Base and satellite placement

[Puke]

bases and sats are placed near by a planet, slightly randomly, but always on the far side away from the attacker. presumeably because the attacker can pick his angle of approach, but there has been much *****ing and debate about that in the past.

you can increase your coverage by building multiple bases, and some may end up on the near side of the planet, if you have enough. sats always end up in a single stack.

any warp point defenders, be they ships or bases or whatever, appear near the warp point if the enemy is coming through it. they also get the first shot! warp points are handy things to defend! if someone is approaching the warp point from the near side, i think you just start out at opposite ends of the map.
