Ships in orbit

How do I get ships to fly around a space map to give the appearance they are orbiting a planet.

Just set them on "Patrol" and create a path surrounding the planet. You may also want to set the patrol speed to max so they don't take forever to complete the orbit...

If it's a contact you can also have be stationary near the planet and say it's on geonsyncronus(sic) orbit since planets in STO don't rotate and all movement in space is relative it should work. It all depends on the needs of your story.
