Hey all,

I want to knock around a cap ship with a nuke-type missile.  I envision the explosion clearing and the cap ship coming into view, drifting back a bit from the huge hit.  I tried cranking the "Mass" of the missile up in the table (went from 5 to 500), to no effect.  Any way to get the kinetic effect from a missile?

Thanks,

Tried something like 5000?

Hm, that will do it...wiki made me think I had gone far enough...  "3+ gives you the Flail effect. Set it to 10 and you can knock cruisers around."

But destroyers are veery big.

Tis true.  It's too bad the kinetic effect only lasts a few seconds, before the ships somehow "slow down" and come to a rest...any way using the kinetic/mass properties of ship and weapon to make it more of a prolonged, gentle drift?

Set super-high damping on the capship?

But that would could potentially introduce undesired side effects...

it seems that when you set high dampering on a capship , ai give up and let the capship @ 0 m/s
