I don't know this but it makes sense that planets and stars are close to spherical because gravity isn't a "directional" force, being a curvature of space/time. Most celestial bodies arn't perfect spheres due to other forces. For example the rotation of the earth causing a bulge at the equator.

The way I see it, if you can control gravity, it doesn't really matter what shape your ships or weapons are. Spiral them like a corkscrew. Have them in seperate pieces. Make them inside out. Or all of the above

You could probably also make a Gravy Gun

Just the thing to fight potato pixies with.

Nope you need a "SPUD GUN"

Hey, spud guns are fun. You stick the gun into a potato to load it, and it shoots out the little piece of potato when you fire the gun. But it's just a toy and it does zero damage so it's useless as a weapon.

A spud gun isn't useless as a weapon, you just need a larger mount for it

[dogscoff]

Spud guns? Ha! Gravy guns? For girls!

*dogscoff powers up his core-mount onion-gun

...*rumble*... what's that noise... and that smell..?

Everything does damage, if you shoot it fast enough.

I read an article pubilshed recently that its been tested and confirmed (using some anomoly of Jupiter) that gravity travels at the speed of light. I'd think this might be some evidence of the existance of gravitrons.

Seems like gravity based devices would be very good on the defensive, something like an ECM device maybe? Also, I would think they'd be very very effective at stellar manipulations.
