Just wondering if anyone has voiced the idea of giving planets gravity wells.
If you have it in combat mode, then ships that have their engines destroyed and are close to a planet (say 2-4 grids or will it be hexes now??) will fall towards the planet. Therefore the ship could cause damage to inhabitants on planet, or the planet and any other ships can destroy the ship thus preventing planetary damage, or a salvage ship(a ship with a component that can tug the damage ship to a safe distance) can save it.
If you have it in normal game play, I guess if a ship loses its engines due to battle, or sabotage or some unexplained phenomena, and is around a planet or sun (hmm, probably should have added idea of sun to previous paragraph), then it would also gradually get pulled in towards said stellar body unless something intervened.

Comments?
