Satelite would be sputnik I think ^^....

:) yes, absolutely right:)

Since I'm nearly allways playing light force (even if they are called =P in the games I'm in ^^) - I donT won't to break your circles of enlightment about trding at right lane. But I think that a speepack is quite an invesment... at all if the enemy has more then one HT. Regarding the decision of whether 2 or 3 goods, I like to go for 3 (CHEEEEEEESE ^^, the Researchresults and... ALe I think ... long time not traded anymore ... should do this more often). With a +150 speed you are still fast enough on this lane to have all with delay if I remember correctly so theres no need to go for 2 goods only.

Third trade good is much cheaper than other two. It is noticeably profitable to trade with two most expensive goods than adding third cheaper one. 1-2 seconds delay do not make any weather here

The factory and troopcommand is kind of an investment... but still oyu have to decide whether you are more likely for the sputnik (^^) or the troopcommand - because with both and SP you will have 3 slots filled - and going for 3 goods is a little bit complicated like this.

3 slots for 3 goods - I don't see any problem actually;-) But buying troop command is rather critical measure than profitable investment.If you're able to avoid death in early game - do not buy it - save for Orbital Control! Because you'll have to sell Troop Command when you place some factories.

The shortest strat: Trader -> UpgradeSpeed -> ArmorUpgrade -> Orbital Control -> SpeedPack / 3 factories -> ArmorUpgrades until 25 -> Titan.
Actually, I never reached Titan in this scheme))
