I'm trying to make a geo-stationary satellite unit. Basically, exactly like the current satellite but it always stays over one spot on earth.

Basically, I tried to set the Speed to 0 but it didn't do anything. Does anyone know if it's possible to have a satellite that doesn't move?

This is the unit:

Code: Select all

[UNIT] "Geostationary Satellite"
  Tech "U_GEO_Satellite"

Hi!

No, geostationary sats are not possible now. They need to stay at very high orbit (30K+ km) and this is not supported.

Thanks for the reply! Any chance it will be added to the game?

Maybe, as the request is quite common.

However this will require adding also the Earth rotation.
