You build satellites in the workshop iirc. Each workshop will provide you with 5 engineers, and additionally you'll want to do the early abductions focused on getting engineers, all other things being equal (if a country would go in the red, you do their mission if you won't be able to put up a satellite by month's end).noiseredux wrote:that seems to be my problem. I can't get them up fast enough. Right now I have two satellite uplinks but still no satellites available? Why? What am I doing wrong? I'm guessing I don't have enough scientists or engineers? But I need to do alien abductions to get more of them right?MrPopo wrote:In general, you want to rush satellites.
Council missions will also provide you with engineers as one of their random bonuses, and the more satellites you get in countries the more scientists and engineers you get, so once you get past the initial stage of the game you shouldn't be hurting for them.
Also, from a panic management standpoint, don't bother launching satellites until the last day of the month. That way you can wait until you see which countries need the panic management the most.
