Motion Influence Turret - Push, Pull, and Slow-Down Targets

Hi,

Here's something I've been picking away at for a little while. This laser turret is able to manipulate the velocity of a target in a few ways:

- Push or Pull from the turret position

- Reduce target speed

- Apply effect to center of mass or to hit position (the latter usually creates some interesting spin effect, akin to a very unbalance gravity drive)

These options can be adjusted in the terminal menu to create some really interesting effects. Turrets using similar effects will also see their effect stack as well. Ammo is generated using grid power. More power is used depending on how effective/powerful you set the turret to be.

Hope ya find it useful! :D

Pity there are no cows to abduct.

Tractor beams! :D

Also would make a great PMW missile defence system.

That's really cool.

I bet you could build a Star Wars podracer with this mod, with big engines on the front pulling a cockpit in the rear, with the engines being remotely controlled.

Do these have any sort of "attach" mode, where it will maintain the distance from one item to another by automatically adjusting the pushing or pulling as needed?

It kinda looks like a laser weapon though. Is there any chance you'd make it look more like a "field" being projected? I guess Star Trek is the gold standard for this sort of thing.

Wow super neat! Does it exert any force in return on the turret?

Does this work with newtonian forces? (Ex. My little Corvette tries to pull in a battle barge, does it instead pull my ship to the barge due to difference in mass?)

How much force can a single laser apply?
