Summary	0021036: make the large ships work like forcefields in terms of blocking the movement of tiny ships through them.
Description	I've been considering this for a long while. The original reason I didn't do it was because the math was too coarse and ships were getting stuck on bubble forcefields because of that. But now that we're using actual floating point math it isn't a problem. The one problem that does exist is that then potentially we can use the giant ships to block wormholes from having enemies pass through them. So perhaps this should only be something that does blocking either: 1) when the ship is in motion in general 2) when the ship either is of the same faction or does not belong to a player. I don't mind AI ships sitting on things and blocking human players, that's actually kinda interesting.
