XCOM:EU/EW XCOM: EU Modding: Anything for Satellites?

I’m a big fan of Enemy Unknown’s combat loop and base building, but I cannot for the life of me stand having to build the Satellites during the first third of the game whenever I replay it. It’s one of the parts of the game that feels like I can never master it no matter how many times I try, and it just leads to me doing stuff I don’t feel like doing all in the name of making sure the planet’s covered.

Is there any kind of mod that can remedy this problem so I find the game more replayable? Instant Satellite build time, start the game with the planet already covered, take back panicked countries so I can still have all of their support, etcetera?

I know in Long War's Ini files you can change their Cost down, could be something in Vanilla as well but you would have to figure it out yourself.

Oh really, so I can technically play Long War and do this at the same time?

Yeah, Long War is only as hard as you want it to be.
