I don't think having the ships in orbit around a planet join a rebellion is a good idea. Take the following situation which I have in the game I'm playing now. I just got the Jhearlen (sp?) Imperium to surrender to me and I have a dozen CA's in orbit around his homeworld. His population is of course angry and likely to rebel. I want to leave the ships there for a few turns to repair and resupply. Why would these ships want to join any rebellion by this world?? The only way I can see to have ships join a rebellion is to track what world they were built on and give them a possibility to join if that world rebels.
