I wonder if anyone ever suggested this before. Launching rockets with the satellite in it should have a benefit. Not only a way of clearing the game. I think it would be great if there's more function to this. Like a surveillance system. Basically a radar but at a large area. Maybe craft a satellite laser beacon to decide the location of the radar range. Or some other benefit, maybe laser from orbit to strike, or something like launching an iron pole that equals to a small nuclear explosion. What do you guys think?
Pardon my English.

There are mods for that™.

I just read he also asked for an orbital weapons platform... not sure why I didn't see that sooner, but anyway: viewtopic.php?f=93&t=17910

whoa thanks!
can we suggest this to be an official addition from the developer? with balanced configuration of course.
I'll check that mods out.
