Not many people have uploaded comsat launch vehicles. I know that when I was new to career mode, I didn't make good rockets for them and had a wild imagination about the satellites floating out of a cargo bay.
The only search result I can find for a career mode comsat LV is an auto-orbiting rocket that was designed to "cost efficently" deliver 11 of them for nearly $24m. And that, indeed, uses a (wasteful) cargo bay.
But I think we can do a lot better. It's possible to take 18 flatsats to any orbit for... $13m.
Move slider 1 up before deploying the solar panels.
