# What does "_SatelliteDropper" do for you?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~ Enhances ship capabilities by efficiently deploying satellites on various stations, jumpgates, accelerators, and superhighways.
~ Flexibility to choose between mk1 satellites, mk2 satellites, or a combination of both for advanced functionality.
~ Uses a sophisticated greedy algorithm to optimize satellite placement and minimize overlap.
~ "Assist" assignment enables collaboration between multiple ships and a _SatelliteDropper ship for satellite placement.
~ Automatic satellite restocking eliminates the need for manual replenishment, saving time and effort.
~ Involvement in satellite deployment process provides valuable experience for pilots and service crew members.
~ Full control over ship actions during periods of inactivity, including docking, flying to specific points, or following another ship.
~ Utilizes the integrated sector activity and sector travel blacklists within the game to exclude stations and sectors based on faction ownership, ~ allowing precise control over operations and preferences.
