Orbitals rock played early in the game, as you can drop a population on them and they then pay for themselves. They are not as good late in the game.

I guess so, but I'd say that exploring new sectors, especially if you're lucky enough to reveal ancient sectors is overall better, and they require ships to take and defend. I guess orbitals are nice if somehow you've got a material surplus early in the game or if you have neighbors that you're 100% sure won't decide to attack you, but I know that neither of these have ever been the case in any game I've ever played.
