I've got a degree in aerospace engineering, I focused on orbital mechanics in school. First, all movement in space is orbital motion. Everything in space moves in an ellipse, circle, or hyperbola. To change a ships motion in space it must be given impulses. These impulses merely change the size and eccentricity of the ellipse of the orbit. In a fleet of ships, every ship would have a different orbit. Albeit a small difference between two closely space ships, if this were to span ac
