Custom ships and satelites

[harmsway]

I trying to build my own ship that has a satelite attached. Can anyone explain to me how to do this?

1) Is it neccessary to build a module or can you write in the attachment point in the ships config file? I am not looking to have any moving parts.

2) How do you determine the elements for the satelite? For example even when the status of the ship is landed the attached satelite is in orbit.

I'm sure if I continue to read the API and look at other ships I'll fiqure it out but for times sake I hoping someone here could explain.
