A simple mod added because Odyssey deserves to have space hulks.
With the aid of thrusters and a bit of patience, orbital platforms (and asteroids) can now set course for different locations across the map! "Making multiple jumps" and "sending caravans" are now completely optional.
Recommended for use with orbital weapons for maximum enjoyment.

HOW TO USE:
1. On any orbital map, build a platform computer. The more non-space terrain a platform has, the more "mass" it will have, increasing the amount of thrust necessary to travel one tile.
2. Build any amount of orbital thrusters to provide the necessary thrust to move your orbital platform.
3. Using your platform computer, select the "Set destination" gizmo - this will allow you to target any surface tile or an orbital WorldObject, like an asteroid.
4. Activate the platform computer; this will set the platform to begin moving towards the preprogrammed destination.
PLANNED:
- Destination scheduling : set automatic activation conditions for multiple platform computers.

Warning : I haven't spent much time testing this, so please save before doing anything that might conflict with the map suddenly changing tiles, like sending shuttles, gravships, or transport pods containing anything (or anyone) of importance.
+: I'll work out the ETA code one of these days.
