Forum:Control Tower and Orbital Ships

Can anyone tell me how the control tower works, and what are the purpose of orbital ships?

Orbital ships don't need a Landing field and have a much higher load capacity. The control Tower is needed to operate the Orbital Ships and works like a landing field. So you can assign ONE ship to the tower only. Make sure not to place control towers too close to each other since the assigned Orbital ship passes by above the tower. Not a problem when you have only one, but if you have some more it geta difficult to see which one you are currently working on.
