Defense Sats, Trade and Provinces in Sword of the Stars II: Lords of Winter

Defense Sats, Trade and Provinces in Sword of the Stars II: Lords of Winter
Here I just want to know about Defense Sats, Trade and Provinces. So here are my some questions about that: Has anybody worked out how to make Defense Sats? I do not make out them as an alternative on the ship designer, is a precise technical requirement? Does anybody know how the trade? Is it automatic? It says that gives you the ability to build cargo ships but again cannot see the designer of ships. Has anybody been able to make a province? I can choose the editing of the province and choose a planet which in turn leads me to choose two more systems, but I cannot look to choose the systems (even those not currently in a province. Are these features I heard something missing having yet to discover yet?

Defense sats become available at a certain tech, I think. I also wonder about the trade, cargo ships have been built, but I cannot look to do anything apart from null. The planets in a new province has to be within a certain range of all other star for you to affix (the range is technology-dependent). I have wedged with 6 and for a few times and truly do not cut it anymore, to my present level of expansion.

I am also thinking about the trade, as Endre i built freighters and cargo ships of Mega, but it seems I'm doing something wrong, because they are not added to commercial vessels. I researched Sats drone, but did not give me anything, I think we need something else first. I think perhaps we need to get Civ stations improved to a decent level first.

Update your IIRC naval bases; the number is partial as of to how many you have. I think they are intentionally limited in a few respects, however. Not certain regarding the satellites and trade.

They have come so far for Trade, however, you may have to form a fleet with them and make a "trade" of the mission. Pure speculation, but this time the ships have a different role - the fleet seems to be on the role of ancient ship. Trade is linked to the seasons of civilization that I know for sure, but my game keeps crashing earlier than you can actually verify. Sats do not know. Admirals are limited by the number of provinces and 5 level 4 or naval stations.

For a province that I think should have a few (at least 3) colonized systems close enough to each other and the colonies should not be in a state and (the first 3 planets are now in a province) - may I'm wrong here (but I managed to select two systems simultaneously created in the province "interface" - at least, it said simply select a system of more, but unfortunately my third colony was not selectable I guess I was too far from the other two).
