you can put sats anywhere you like as long as you have the tech to transport and launch them. You can even cloak them and use as spy sats in other systems Good for wormhole defense and planet defense, it just depends on what weapons, shields, etc you put on them. a lot of players use them for PD's , everyone has their own uses for them. enjoy the game and welcome to the best forum around

just some ideas mac

I just was wondering if there was any use for mines other than Warp Point defense.
I already tried deploying mines during combat and it doesn't work.

As SJ mentioned, intruders will hit mines deployed above your planet before attacking; in fact, this seems to be a standard tactic for defense (at least among human players).

And, as you discovered, laying mines during combat isn't terribly useful. Launching satellites, drones or fighters works quite well in combat, though...
