Can't you represent that with Standard Movement v. Combat Movement?

I like Krakenup's suggestion on mines.

7) Make mines and minesweeping less than 100 percent effective. There should be a chance that a mine will miss and that minesweeping will fail.

You could even have things like allowing sats and bases to have 1 combat MP but no strategic MP, which usually would help with planetary defense.

You can do that now, at least with bases. See the Devnull mod, or my mod (Derek's Mod Gold) for an example. Basically, you can have whats called a 'Station Keeping Engine' which gives a base one or two (or more, if you like) combat only movement points.

You can't do it with satellites, however. Dats are hardcoded to have no movement. What would make me happy is if the sats weren't all in one group, but split up into three or four Groups around a planet, so every quadrant is covered

I used to play a pretty cool Star Wars derived strategic game. I cant remember what it was called

Your description sounds like Star Wars Rebellion.

No. Strategic move will ALWAYS give you a certain amount of combat move, and the extra combat move abiltity does not stack.

Really, the only redeaming item in Star Wars Rebellion were the intelligence/counter-intel wars (plus the major characters). The computer was still pretty dense, but intel wars between humans was a heck of a lot of fun!
