We can remove parts of the battlefield, what about add?

So you can smash an asteroid into a planet and basically remove that planet from play reducing the total size of the battlefield; what about ways to increase your play area such as the advanced orbital units have one as a passive platform to build a base on or an asteroid collector that gathers them together into a small moon....

I think annihilating planets should be the "game ender" the word "annihilation" implies.

Eventually, there is gonna be nothing left but debris, and a bunch of derelict, but victorious units while their commander gates into the next system on his to-do list.

I don't like the idea of making the orbital layer like any of the other layers, if it just ends up a "Like land BUT" or "Like Air BUT" there isn't any point in having it to begin with.

I quite like the idea of gather asteroids together to create a make-shift moon, but could be hard to implement in game, depending on how advanced the physics engine is.
