Exactly. I've given sats an intrinsic 'to hit' bonus just like fighters, first of all. Not as much, though. Only 20 percent. Then, there are mounts for medium and large sats that give range and 'to hit' bonuses.

The are several mods in the mod archive that change weapon mounts for weapon platforms and other vehicles. I changed weapon platform mounts and gave them the same range bonus as base mounts. I didnt give the accuracy bonus though - to simulate firing through an atmosphere.

Check out Mod1 if your interested.

If you are interested in more 'mounts' for satt's/weapon platforms and ships. (as well as for components) you could also check out my modd, its on the PBW site in the files download section, 'Deathstalkers Mount Mod'. It has (IMO) some good stuff!

There was a post way way back, where someone said that in tactical combat, they put booster or something on their sats/BS and were able to move them 1-2 spaces. Can't remember who it was or what post. Anyone else remember it??

just some ideas mac

I don't remember who, but I do remember it was a bug and was fixed. No can move space stations anymore using emergency propulsion.

/edit

Might have misread that.

If your refering to like afterburners or something... I would imagine that is a bug or something that would have to be modded in since the only naturual ones that come with it are afterburners for fighters. Don't even know if modding it in would work.
