I can't place a Satellite in Earth Sector

Post by ESTEBAN101 » Sat, 17. Jul 10, 20:39

Simple. Whenever I drop one (behind the accelerator, in front of it, near the Toru's bay, wherever) it dissappears after a few seconds. Even worse, the first time I tried, all the turret became red to me and destroyed the satellite.
What can I do? Except parking a cheap M5 on Torus, of course.

Chances are it will be run over by something else, or something else avoids it to run into the Torus.

So its a 50/50 chance of survival.

I'd park a cheap M5 at the Torus. Wait, just keep the Claymore you get there.

thats only if youre IS, in which case it would be 100% guranteed to be destroyed by the taurus guns.

So?
Looks like leaving the M5 is most viable solution. And that Claymore is one of my biggest ships, I won't leave it there! :o

I've had a satellite in there. The trick is to put it high enough that it is out of the way of traffic (for when you go IS), but not too high so that your ship gets destroyed by the lasertowers and it has to go pretty close to the gate. Although Torus looks tiny on the Sector map, it is huuuuuge, so by trying to put it in the middle of the sector like you do with most other sectors, doesn't work as Torus is actually in the way. Same is true for a couple of the other sectors in Terran space.

I always put a AS in Earth. It never disappears. I've dropped them and I've had M5s drop them (right in the flight path about 1/2 between gate and dock).
