Summary0024426: Make Ion Cannons and Orbital Mass Drivers permanently disappear only when you destroy the enemy Command Station
DescriptionWhenever you find an Ion Cannon or an Orbital Mass Driver you have to take a decision that can have consequences way later into the game.
The problem is that you can hack them only while they are alive. If you kill them they disappear and you lose their strength forever.
If you kill them they should die to remains and stay hackable, so if later into the game you decide to conquer the planet you can still have the option to have them on your side.
The AI shouldn't be able to rebuild them though, since it would be really annoying.
On the Galaxy map, after you kill them, they could appear with the default grey color for uncaptured friendly units.

That in-the-moment choice of whether to sabotage them or reprogram them is intended to be something you have to make while under fire. If you want to have more flexibility with where things like that go, then the Zenith Trader is probably the way to go.
