I hope orbital combat wont only be lasers firing from space, albeit cool that would make it kind of like a special artillery piece like the Novak was in SC:FA.

These platforms could have some sort of power source (which, if depleted or destroyed) could cause the platforms to plummet and destroy all the structures). Important structures for gas planets could require these platforms to be built on which will create a new level of strategy(...)" credits to Shawn Dolen.
