Summary0009241: Allow player home forcefield to be immune to the AoE effect of Plasma Siege Starship
DescriptionAfter a brave foray out into the wild yonder with my newly-activated Shadow Frigate, I... kinda woke up a Plasma Siege Starship. Cue it attacking my home planet, pretty much destroying everything in the process. I don't mind the attacks in themselves, but since it deals damage to everything under the forcefield, well... let's just say there was no real point in continuing the game.

Recently the cryo pods and human settlements were made immune to that splash damage; the replaceable stuff (and the home station) is still vulnerable but that's intentional.

One other thing I'm meaning to look into is making sure the home command spawns far enough away from wormholes that the plasma sieges can't just pop out and snipe... actually just went ahead and did that for 5.061, so yea :)
