    Would be cool if you could put a core, thrusters and all that on an asteroid and make it fly. :D

    I just don\'t see a point to being able to kidnap an asteroid.

    Kidnapping an asteroid keeps it looking like, erm, an asteroid instead of a pile of disintegrated quanta blocks.

    It would also allow players to (conveniently) move asteroids to safer areas or onto a planet, which might be safer.

    Although, kidnapping planets is pure overkill and would probably bring tipped over planets spinning out of control.

    A station is a big ship with no thrusters or thrusters offline then?

    An asteroid is a ship without dampening?

    A planet is a big ship/station without thrusters (initially) and natural gravity?



    But: What if you remove all but 1 block from a planet, build your ship around it and laugh at the enemy ships following your gravity direction?



    Why do big ships not have own gravity? Do you need a Ferum-Core (block-cube) for it?

    Building a ship in the shape of an asteroid just isn\'t the same thing as putting thrusters on an asteroid and stealing it. :D
