Do orbiters still work?

If only I even knew how to phrase the question. On push-enabled land, given all the physics modelling changes and whatnot - do any orbiter weapons still work? Any recommendations? Someone was just bugging the heck out of me recently, and desperately needed a boot in the pants.

If it isn't your land you have no right to orbit the person.

Back to the original question. I too have been wondering what the actual changes have been to physics. One of my products, an Attack Shark still bumps and pushes people who come to close, but someone who was using it with a game damage system tells me it no longer triggers damage with their system.

Those specifics aside, what were the changes LL made to the physics system?

To my knowledge, the physics orbiters using twisted spheres have been rendered ineffective via Havok 4. I don't know about any others, though. Push orbiters don't really have the kick they used to have, and the prevalence of "no push" on the vast majority of parcels makes them almost totally ineffective (except for the owner(s) of the parcel).
