Here's what I use:
I place the planet on the table. Under that I have 2 cloth circles. One
is
12" dia. and the other is 24" dia.
Any ship ending its movement on the outer circle gets 1" added to the
vector in the direction of the ship-to-planet. The inner circle does the
same thing, but for 2"
If you want to simulate a stronger field, just change to numbers to your
taste.
