Description
I'm attacking an enemy planet (a Huge one) with only an expeditionary force and noticed that all the defensive space stations (heavily armed) were pooled on just one side of the planet. I moved my small fleet over to the other side of the planet and had just enough ships to defeat the ground based defenses and destroyed everything on the planet. I left the bases to be a resource drain (Kind of like the French Maginot line in WWII). Bottom line is that the bases were worthless in the defense of that planet, so they should be evenly spaced to protect the planet since I could have never gotten though the bases if they were spread out evenly.
How?
Maybe I have missed this but I was unaware you could place any bases or satellites. In fact until just the other day I thought I would never see an AI equally cluster defensive sats but they had them perfectly arranged. Kind of wish I had saved a pic before blowing them to bits...
Satellites...
The game place satellites evenly around the planet or base that launched them. But base are never placed correctly around the planet (as far as i seen). This is annoying, i hope this will be fixed in the next version. I'm sure it's not a serious coding issue.
Re: Defensive space stations don't evenly place themselves aroun
In the interim, you can use the sector view option to optimally place the bases if you wanted.
Re: Defensive space stations don't evenly place themselves aroun
Is it just sats? Because I Placed a sat I had above a planet I traded with opponent out of WP's range and when we broke treaty and combat ensued it was right next to the planet and got destroyed. This was PBW v1.66/balnce mod. I'm hoping it was just sats that move and not ships and bases etc.. Because if so, than sector view is worthless.

Everything that has transpired has done so according to my design...
I think players can move them
I think players can move them about but this is I admit a problem for the AI. Oddly this is not alwas the case and it seems not to affect saterlites
