Thanks, Sean! I use the same modification in the "Full Steam" rules I'm
working on. The difference is that I have 6 critical effects, not just
three.

The modification works fine in practice. It's also slightly faster to
resolve
than the actual rules.

One advantage of using geosynchronous orbits is that you can save big
on the ground. Since the satellites will be over the same part of the
planet at all times, you can have fewer ground stations controlling the
action. On the other hand, if you only have three or four command and
control centres, then you are making a ripe target for the enemy.

There are arguments for placing surveillance birds in both orbit types.
That is why both the US and Russia have both types. Geosynch orbits
for early warning satellites, non-synchronous orbits for high-res
photography.

I don't think that satellites would make particularly good ortillery
platforms. I think that you would want a platform that could deliver
ordinance to any place on the planet on demand. Especially in the
fast paced world of DS2.

Depends. You could have an argument about them being very small relative
to ships, and if they are pure weapons platforms without sensors they
may be very difficult to detect. This is how I would design the system.
A large and relatively inexpensive sensor net, broadcasting target
info in all directions. A smaller number of more expensive weapons
platforms built to be very hard to detect. These would be completely
passive (sensor-wise, hehe)

>Q6: Should these be constructed as ships without drives or FTL but
otherwise

Yes. But you may also want to do away with life support, etc. as well.
Basically a hull with weapons poking out of it.

Did I really type that?  Oh well, at least I can still find the

I'll see if Janice is interested in watching the video release.  Maybe
I'll enjoy it despite the one reviewer who has a clue in Saint Louis
arts
articles and a Star War's Fan was totally bummed out over the movie. 
And
the others, while critical [that's their job] liked it over all (usually
100% guarantee that I won't.)  The kids want to see all of the original
trio (girls' ages 12 going on 21 and seven going on eight.)

Planning on running at least two Full Thrust scenarios at
WinterWar 28.

Let me know if there is any interest in playing/designing
to fit in.
