Satellites and the Need for Fighters at Games Start

[Ungor]

From what I see here, it seems that the offensive satellite-layer strategy is really only effective when using missiles. Based on my experience and what I've read in other threads, missiles seem to be a bit of an uber-weapon in the very early game regardless of platform. If CSMs were removed as a starting tech there would at least be a deterrent to going that route, so I'm leaning toward doing that in my game already. Do you think that would be enough to balance out the tactic, or would more be required?
