Summary0025578: Unit idea - 'make stuff orbit' FRS ship or FF ark variant
DescriptionIt's often hard to keep ship underneath mobile forcefields during combat.

The addition of orbiting units suggests a possible solution to this headache: just make *everything* orbit! If they orbit at a fixed distance that's less than the size of the forcefield, they'll always be under it.

This was inspired while reading about the shield wall battlestation buffs in one of the recent patches. I don't think it quite works for that unit, though. If you stick mobile units in the battlestation's fleet, it makes sense for them, but it doesn't really make sense for all of the battlestation's turrets to orbit it.

So, this would probably work better for an Ark with a big bubble forcefield, or as an FRS ship line which, if there's less than X ship lines in the fleet, makes all of them orbit. The FRS ship line might also apply a range or damage bonus, or a size bonus to forcefield bubbles.
