Solar Satellite

From OGame Wiki

Solar Satellites generates 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 max temperature of the planet and is therefore generally more useful on planets closer to the sun (i.e. at slots with lower numbers).

Production

The formula for the output of a Solar Satellite is

So if the max temp of your Planet was 36°C then your satellite output would be 29. The maximum output, however, is 50, despite some planets have a high enough max temp that they could produce 51-52 energy each.

The max temp of the planet is the second (highest) 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.

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. You do not want to rely on solar satellites as your primary power source, or even your secondary. Build a few to supplement your power if need be, but keep a Fusion Reactor on hand for backup. Additionally, planets that are farther from the sun (such as the fifteenth planet in a system) do not gain much energy from solar satellites.
