   @gamehawk wouldn't any orbit parallel to the midpoint plane be just the same, since the gravity is uniform as long as you don't cross edges?
   assuming you stay "above" the planetoid and not beside it.

     @zatnosk @gamehawk Any orbit is around the center of gravity, regardless if the object orbited is a cube or a sphere. You cannot have parallel orbits, only tilted orbits.
     
     A cube will have interesting distorsions of the orbit because the gravity field will vary in strength, but it will still have a center.

     @clacke @gamehawk you seem to have missed the part where the gravity field is not continous and doesn't follow regular natural laws.

     @zatnosk @gamehawk I seem to have missed that, indeed. :-D
