I was playing a game of EoR last night, and im sure its probably been well documented before, but whats with this core and its capsule drive. As soon as you put it in the cargo of a fig/int, your ship seems to go into a death spin and hit 1000mps+ and flies off the map.
It's crazy, but extreamly funny. I managed to get 25k of the map at one point.
I've heard its something to do with negative mass ?...Why does the capsule drive have a negative mass ?
Also it could be an interesting weapon.
Imagine this scenario, a fig is chasing you, hes right behind you, hes shot a load of imrec missiles at you. then u drop your Capsule drive from ur ship, then he picks it up by chance...Bye bye fig.
Anyways fun but strange.
Apoch.
Capsule Drive
Ah crumbs, double posted by mistake.

Nans are happy people. They fly around, give out repairs, and overall have a lot of fun. Why are we killing them when we can learn from their example?
On second thought, I loathe my old banner. I want a good one, does that mean I have to work for myself?

Incidentally, I looked in ICE, and Tacscouts seem to have 100 mass. That's more than fighters, other scouts, interceptors... If you can line up properly, those would AMAZING for pushing a bomber. Ridiculously so. Also noteworthy: If you research ship acceleration, a tacscout's top speed seems to go down. From maybe 800ish to 600. Strange...
EDIT: Just was looking in ICE again. The Capsule Drive reduces your mass -98, and gives you 30000 thrust. Even putting in your CARGO can give you a boost. Incidentally, in the case of many ships, just 1 would bring them down to negative mass, which could mean some very strange effects . Also, this makes the Tacscout pushing rather useless, due to the mass of two.Nans are happy people. They fly around, give out repairs, and overall have a lot of fun.

Very difficult, given the deceleration of said tacscout.

The only reason the TacScout isn't gamebreaking as it is is because it can't do anything of offensive relevance.
