Defensive space stations don't evenly place themselves around the planet they are protecting.

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

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...

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.

In the interim, you can use the sector view option to optimally place the bases if you wanted.

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.
