Excessive hit force for mass driver #12

Open Caliperstorm opened 4 years ago

I noticed that when ships are hit by the mass driver, they go flying out of the solar system at a truly ridiculous speed. Is this intentional? It makes the weapon hard to use, because any ship that I attack with the mass driver flies far out of my range as soon as I hit it. It makes sense to keep the hit force high, considering how massive and fast the projectile is, but maybe divide it by 10 or something. The ships fly off the map so fast that it looks like they just disappear.

in truth, i've been planning to change some of the weapons systems - the H.I.P.C. and the Mass Driver are due for overhaul...

the massive hit force on the H.I.P.C. was intentional at the time, but that weapon has never sit right with me...
