Space objects
Space objects are objects that exist in the world. These are objects that the player can interact with and travel to. All physical objects in the game are one of types below.
The objects are divided into two main catagories: SpaceObjectTransferable and ArtificalBody. Station, Asteroid and Ship are interresting as they can exist on the map, which is because they are SpaceObjectVessel types.
