# A player-placed structure in space. Three kinds for now:
#   mothership     - where a wiped-out fleet is rebuilt
#   ship_crafter   - fly the fleet onto it to buy additional ships
#   command_center - reconfigure the fleet formation
#
# Buildings are stationary and harmless; whether the fleet is "on" one is
# decided by BuildingField comparing the fleet CENTROID against
# interact_radius, the same stable single-number test Planet uses (see
# Planet.gd for why per-ship overlap was a poor fit).
#
# Nothing here rests on ground or vents into an atmosphere - these are
# orbital structures, so they are built out of trusses, radiator fins,
# reactor cores and open cradles rather than walls and roofs.
#
# The crafter and the mothership animate, so they run _process. The command
# centre is drawn once and never redrawn - per-frame redraws of art that
# never changes were a real framerate cost earlier on.
