Independence Day had aliens, despite having their own gigantic advanced ships, use OUR satellites to communicate to each other during their invasion of our planet which led to jeff golblum being able to send a computer virus to their mothership.

Instead of wasting resources, they used already deployed satellites which is pretty smart.
And what would happen if they had deployed their own satellites, it would just be more targets that some itchy fingered human would try to shoot down or try to steal.

That said, I never understood why they would need them in the first place. The big modership in space should have direct contact with the ships on almost half the planet, and seeing that they placed ships over the biggest cities on the planet, they should be close enough to a ship that indirectly got contact with the mothership in one or more steps. And why send a countdown signal? They got no countdown routine on the computers in their ships? Time changed because of gravity shouldnt be big enough to make a difference.

independence day, easy. they had literally won, but somehow they get taken out by two idiots and a crop duster... maybe next time park your fleet in the kuiper belt and de-orbit some asteroids in our general direction?

Think of all the resources that would be wasted that way.
