when i started playing HP i was disappointed that there are no satellites mentioned on the main page
Omnicron Mega-Corp has taken over North & South America, controlling some of the most powerful remaining satellite platforms and systems. Icarus Mega-Corp has taken over the Europe and Africa, controlling of higher number of medium to high platforms. Hakuza Mega-Corp has taken over the Russia and Asia, controlling a huge number of smaller platforms.
Because SATTELITEZ R AWSUM. There should be some kinds of freaking hard missions where you could steal uber secret codes from one enemy facton to take control of their LAZOR ARMED SATTELITEZ and aim them at the other enemy faction's server rooms to obliterate multiple servers (hardware damage, or better, disabling servers for a day) causing massive effects on stock market (current effects on player actions are barely noticeable). And when the mission is complete, instead of swimming in money from it, you could (as you still have those codes) aim it at other player server, HELL YEAH! The problem would be to locate it, because only ip wont give you exact location. Other missions could be cracking communication server to upload malware onto satellite hard drive, thus damaging it. Or aiming one armed satellite at another, communication or positioning satellite. But this is not the best idea - in world of HP where all natural resources are depleted, satellite would be irreplaceable, so destroying them would ruin all the fun.
