Hey guys !

Is there a strategy guide somewhere that explains how to manage satellites ?

I started to play not so long ago, and i'm only playing ironman (it's really great btw) ; i go further in the game with each run, but i always lose too many countries too early, even when i'm trying not to... Basically, should all my expenses go to satellite management ?

If you're anything like me (on my first 7 or so runs), you should PROBABLY be spending more on satellites than you've been. Build your second uplink next to your first and try to get 5 up within 2-3 months. Also, if you're anything like me, you might be putting base assault off far too long. After you do it you get worldwide panic reduction and a tonn of things to sell, so it helps to rush for carapace armor and lazer weapons then do the base assault as soon as you're ready.

Ahaha, thanks a lot. You're right, on my first run, i got decimated during the base assault, so now i postpone it a lot, it's scary. I think that's part of my problem, thank you !
