For fed command, do the rules allow for an asteroid to be dragged to a spot on the map and for def satelites than to orbit around them. For instance drag an asteroid into the same hex as a base station than have def satelites orbit around the asteroid and therefore the base station.
I keep reading the other posts and not sure what the final if any rulings are.
thanks |

Last I saw Defense Satelites have to orbit a planet.
This rulling from SPP iirc was why the ideal of using Defense Satelites as stand in for mines around a Battle Statton got shot down.
About the asteriod dragging yes the Tholians do it all the tiime just not durring a scenerio. They apparently take a long time to move and position them just right. _________________ -Dal

DefSats are only supposed to be around planets. But it's your game... |

Just have the base station orbiting some convenient planet or moon, and put the DefSats in a nearby orbit around said planet or moon. Poof, there you go. |

DefSats may only orbit planets or moons. Asteroids are not nearly massive enough to count. _________________

Ok, I'll bite: 'That's no moon....'
Just to clarify, in Fed Commander, a defsat 'orbiting' a planet or whatever does not actually move during the course of a scenario; there are no 'Standard Orbits' in Fed Commander. _________________
