Summary0027449: Orbital turrets can be tractored
DescriptionThe case I'm seeing is a zombified Tractor Guardian dragging the orbital turrets, but perhaps other cases exist too.
Orbital turrets seem like another good candidate to be made immune to tractors.

I also noticed a typo in the Orbital Fortified Tesla Turret (see attached picture). Its name is missing a space between Fortified and Tesla.

What is the benefit to making them un-tractorable?

They don't need to be immune to tractors per se. As long as Orbital Turrets can't be tractored while still orbiting a Guard Post (which I haven't tested) I'd say this is mostly a humorous bug.
If Orbital Turrets can be tractored while orbiting that would be more egregious. I don't like how Orbiting Turrets can be tractored, but the static ones can't. They have identical mass, engine power and albedo so I feel like both turret types should behave the same.

As for other ships that should be able to tractor Orbital Turrets based on albedo (using the in-game encyclopedia): The Envious Eldering and Necromancer flagship equivalent, Thief, Spire Retiarius, Spectral Wight, Retiarius, Persuader, and Bustuarius.

Fixed in svn r18068, so that entities that orbit others cannot be tractored.
