Hmmm, just something off the top of my head. Could you make this planet/ship able for use by enemies and allies? That would make it possible to script the ability to make planets and moons orbit gravitation centers of solar systems and other planets. Just think of the whole new class of Planet components to keep the population happy, health, and safe.

Interesting thought. You should be able to do this since things like the starbases behave both as dockable items (ie have an entry in the Main_Sites.txt file) but also can have components installed on it (an entry in Main_PurchaseShipsEnemy.txt should do this, I think). The big trick, however, is to get it to recognize Planet as a valid Target Type. Then, you could make it so that only planetary seige weapons could be used against it, and that really massive weapons could be mounted on it (both can be done by editing the Main_Components.txt file). I don't know if Starfury will let you add a new target type, though.
