Jeez...I must REALLY suck.
I still find the AI to give me a challenge depending on the settings I start with.

Play a few dozen PBW games and learn all the tips and strategies involved there that are necessary to compete with human playes. Now, go back and play the AI. You will find it disturbingly lacking.

And yes I do play against the AI. But even in human play Im thinking it would mean that he would need to have more than just an escort watching his borders in the early game.

Unless he sticks that escort on the warp point, of course. Your transport would be slaughtered long before it got a chance to launch any satellites. Also, there is the problem mentioned earlier that you only get to launch the satellites at the end of your movement (assuming you wish to travel farther than a single sector per turn). Likely, the patrol ship would catch your transport mid-route for the turn and be able to destroy it... It can work, just not very well if you try to move more than one sector per turn.
