Henry Taylor-Gill	I just want to find out how satellites work and what they do. Thanks, Henry TG Edited By: Henry Taylor-Gill on Year 10 Day 210 9:20 ____________ "FLOAT LIKE A BUTTERFLY, STING LIKE A BEE"

Ethan Weber	They are sensors (like the ones on your ship) except they are stationary in space and cover a wide range. ____________ Everything looks better with shadows.

Henry Taylor-Gill	yeah ok, how do you get them into space though, that's what I can't figure out. Can you transport them to different places? ____________ "FLOAT LIKE A BUTTERFLY, STING LIKE A BEE"

Maziel Davik	Yes satelites are stationary and cannot move, however you can get a big enough capital ship that has a hangar bay. Then you can dock the satelite inside of the ship you can thus transport it. Edited By: Maziel Davik on Year 10 Day 210 10:10

Hal Breden	You'll need a tractor beam to get them aboard, of course. ____________ "May the Grace of Ara go with you, and His Vengeance be wrought upon your enemies." Only fools and children dream of heroes.

Henry Taylor-Gill	I'm thinking about buying one. So you're saying that if its on the ground (as it's brand new) you'll need a capital ship to get it into space? Also another question. Who knows what the range is of a satellite (Sysat T-24 to be precise) is? ____________ "FLOAT LIKE A BUTTERFLY, STING LIKE A BEE"

Year 10 Day 210 11:33	What do satellites do?
Syn	Yes, a ship that has both a tractor beam and a docking bay (not a hangar bay). As for the scanning range, you can compare the number of sensors on the satellite you are looking at to the diagrams on the scanning rules for a visual idea of range. ____________
