I'll admit I didn't look through all the suggestions to see if this has been posted yet, but has anyone looked into having orbiting moons around planets or suns? Or maybe planets orbiting suns with their own moons?

My inspiration for this request is a freeware game I played a long time ago called Wazzal. I know it probably wouldn't work well to have the ships directly affected by gravity too, but I think it would look cool.

Maybe have the mining ships automatically pick the best route to an orbitting moon to mine it, but have the mining station stationary, or have the mining station locked to an orbiting moon.

Also, maybe have certain stations (i.e. spacedock) that would go into orbit around a planet when not being used, but would freeze their position for as long as they're being used.

Well its an OK idea, but I doubt it is possible to create that with A2 engine without the source code

Welcome to the forums!

yea, not possible with armada and not fittable in the armada 2 environment, just too less place to do that. armada is just not designed for detailed space combat. no real good way to handle fighters etc. you can just think in big matters (in relation to each other). whatever. just not possible.
