Am I the only one who thinks some
planets should have moons orbiting around them? Sometimes being
slightly usable for extra resources. Or turning into a massive
weapons outpost; Only moving around the planet. It would be a nice
Siege deterrent. It would also have an effect on the size and shape
of the gravity well. I.E. The side of the planet it is on, the
gravity well is slightly larger. Taking you (or enemies in your
territory) longer to escape and/or giving you (or the enemies),
depending on when/where you phase jump in, more time to respond as
you have more distance, if you happen Phase Jump in when the moon is
on that side.
There could then obviously be some kind
of Tech Research, maybe for all races or just some; that could
nullify that extra bulge in the Gravity Well, or some kind of
reconnaissance/sensor that knows where the Moon is, and adjust for it
so you never jump into the side with the enlarged gravity well.
Edit* And also, very rarely have more then one moon!
