I don't know, actually. I just assumed that they did, seeing as how the game will launch fighters and drones and things in combat. Easy enough to test, I suppose.

Unfortunately, SE IV does not launch satelites in strategic. Have no idea why it is not implemented. If it launches fighters and drones, what is so different with satelites ?

Or, we could email-bomb MM with complaints until he makes the 'Combat Satellite Group Amount' setting actually do something... like divide 'strategic' satellite Groups into smaller 'combat' Groups.

I vaguely recall statements on this forum about the AI being unable to recognize that it shouldn't launch unarmed spy sats in combat, but I'm not in any mood to coax the thread out of the search engine at the moment.

[Edit] OK, I'm in a (marginally) better mood today; here {link} is the most recent of the threads I was thinking of.
