extends Node

# Stationary siege piece: drifts slowly toward the fleet (deliberately no
# pursuit component - closing distance is incidental, not its purpose) and
# fires a slow, heavily telegraphed AOE shell on a long cooldown via a
# standalone ArtilleryShell, so an already-launched shot survives this
# enemy dying mid-flight, same as EnemyProjectile/Projectile already do.
