We should add some kind of cheats regarding physical laws ..

For instance, if we want to circularize the orbit around a star, it should not be needed to constantly adjust the speed. There should be two phases :

• First, we do the circularization, using a physical tehcnique,
• Second, we cheat to maintain it as long as there is no modification of the force field the ship is stabilized in.

This would greatly simplify handling some kind of ship orders. This would also avoid issues with the eulerian integration that would progressively make the ship drift from the intended orbit for instance.

This is done for orbiting

This is not really solved. The orbit behavior as some kind of cheat, but not a global cheat.
