They're still big suckers, though. Indeed, a satellite may be more expensive, but I don't think a flying battleship is very cheap. Gyges and Kottos are probably in production, seeing from their fleet numbers. Good luck trying to restart an abandoned satellite project, though. If they launched the satellites into space (or, judging by the size, assembled them in space) once, then they can do it again.
