I think what's actually funnier is that the satellite shooting the laser has to know where the terminal is with pin point accuracy too. So it's pretty easy to cut off targeting to a vast chunk of the planet. | ||

The sats don't use lasers to communicate with terminals, just regular radio waves, they only use lasers for inter-satellite communication | ||
