I would think that such a ship would be hard pressed to avoid my
planetary missile system. I I place an equivilent point cost of
missiles on the planet that would give me 11 missiles to fire at
your ship. If the planet is represented by a 6" radius planet, gives
an orbit of 6" above the planets surface, that means that any ship
in orbit will automatically be in range of my missile launched from
the planet. Goodby landing craft.
