I've got to weigh in here guys.. .What? shooting planets? one should not have the power to shoot planets at a whim, that's beyond mind numbing. However one could turn a planet in to a "free planet" , with the right tech (my people have muddled with that idea) but its... Complicated (lensman reference).
@Kisia, TFU
Without using a 'mass effect relay' to jettison the planet around, why not attach a hyperspace to a planet and it could be a moving home/fortress ... it would take maybe a long time, but West-Tek Research could always help kisian contractors ... (This idea was taken from the yuuzhan vong in the star wars galaxy)
You'll have to forgive me for reiterating TFU's comment here, but...
What in the fuck?
Are you telling me you're tired of making large chunks of metal filled with people move faster than light, so now it's time we started doing it with entire friggin' planets? Are you absolutely mental?!
Just build a Death Star and cover all the exhaust ports with planks of wood. Problem solved.
Covering the exhaust ports with planks of wood would either cause said planks to catch afire and burn away or build up heat in the Death Star and thus frying everyone inside into nice human pasta.
