Satellites can have CS and Long Range Scanners, which cancel out ECM, leaving a +20% to hit net in favor of the sats. They can benefit from the various command centers the same as a ship can, so that cancels out. Training brings it to +5%. Fanatical Command brings it to -1%. Engines bring it to -11%. Then the stealth shields and armor give -30%, so -41%. Hmm... might need a Satellite Coordination Center or something to give the whole stack a nice bonus.

Just make sure Satellite Coordination Center can't be researched very easily. It requires lots of researhing to get 10% bonus from engines and 30% from stealth shield and armor.

I could put it at the end of the Sensors and Scanners tech trees (require both techs).

I think that would be good. Then satellites would be useful throughout the game without being overpowering.

*sigh* I am really getting annoyed with the target type options... why can there not be a simple Ships\Ftr\Sat\Drone option? I made it so most weapons can't target planets. Unfotrunately, I had to use the targetting type of Ships\Sat, which means that they can no longer fire at drones or fighters... Looks like it is back to Ships\Planets\Ftr\Sat\Drone.

0.13.26 is released!

Details Page

[Fyron]

At long Last, the Data, Lite, Full and Nebulae download files have been updated from 0.13.00 to 0.13.26. *sigh* I miss that T1 line...

Lets say I made it so that you can only stick 2 of each type of robo miner on any particular vehicle (so you can have up to 2 mining each resource on a ship or base, for 6 maximum possible, though not in the same resource type). Keep in mind that remote mining does not decrease asteroid values at all. How many racial points would you be willing to pay for a trait that allows you to put 4 of each type on a vehicle, thus potentially doubling your remote mining profits?
