It quickly became apparent that more energy was needed to power larger mines then could be produced by conventional ground based solar plants and fusion reactors. Scientists worked on the problem and discovered a method of transmitting electrical energy to the colony using specially designed satellites in geosynchronous orbit

Now,if solar sats are in geosynchronous orbit this implys they are not all gathered in one spot and spread about the planets uppper atmosphere.no one would argue the sats are hudddled together.now taking into account that ships fire as a stack this means for sure they are attacking in one particular area as one group correct?This means that an attacking fleet has not surronded a planet.which leaves the question how come all sats are destroyed during a succesful raid?some should survive along this logic.

Perhaps the fleet doesn't need to surround the planet but just flies a circle around it and on the way shooting at sats?

I think this might cross the line from "it's nice to have accuracy relating to real possibilities" to "ZE must equal RL."

Agreed!

On a failed attack, the sats still get destroyed.
