    The last part of the post made me think maybe you could build your asteroid engines on a rock with a unit cannon and tell it to go on a flight path that would send it past several planets before crashing. Then you could launch out units along the way. Could be fun...

    Or have three mobile-asteroid bases with unit cannons on them patrolling the star system. Flying past empty planets to shoot task-forces on them to build bases.

    the problem with setting a flight path other than impact, the acutal method of doing this goes from click one location and get time to impact to the player having to create complex geometry and stable orbits through some arcane method.

    Very little of what you describe is in the released version of TA. These all sound like custom 3rd party units.

    I think it's important to realize where super units stand balance wise. This can help specialize their usefulness and avoid them turning into frontline units. The main difference between an army and a super unit is that a super unit maintains full firepower until it is dead, whereas an army is more easily whittled down. This affords a margin of inefficiency, that is, dps for dps it could be more expensive, but still be useful due to this whittledown resistance. Essentially; a massive tank unit.
