Solar Satellite
Solar Satellite

Solar Satellites generate power for your planet but can be easily destroyed in an attack. Despite being a ship, it cannot be moved from the planet it was built on. The power generated depends on the amount of light the planet recieves from its host star and is therefore generally more useful on planets closer to their star (i.e. at slots with lower numbers).

Production[]

The formula for the output of a Solar Satellite is

The average temp of the planet is the arithmetic mean of max and min temperature given on the overview page.

Evaluation[]

Uses and Advantages[]

Satellites in massive numbers are the power source of choice to create the energy necessary for Graviton Technology. They are also the lowest cost way of producing energy, being more affordable and efficient than fusion power or solar plants.

Shortcomings[]

Satellites are easily destroyed. Any attacking fleet can and will destroy these satellites, which will result in a loss of resources, points and power. Additionally, planets that are farther from the sun (such as the fifteenth planet in a system) do not gain much energy from solar satellites.

To Get Graviton (level 1) 4478 satellites is needed (at location 1 planet)

Estimated cost:

  • Crystal 8,956,000
  • Deuterium 2,239,000
