Mass Driver

Description
First attempt to make a Mass Driver weapon out of this concept.

Made it bigger and used heavy armor blocks.
I also connected it with both rotors and landing gear to make it a bit more "flexible" when the bigger blocks are rolling around inside.
It still need a lot of fine tuneing to minimize damage when fireing.
After that i'ts ready to be attatched to any insainly huge ship ;)

** Update **
Made a few adjustments, it's better but not perfect.
There is a bigger yellow block you can copypaste inside, if you make it a bit bigger it actually works a bit better.

** Update 2 **
More adjustments and more gravity generators!
The blocks still cause some damage when moving around but not nearly as much.
There also is a target now to shoot at, head to the cockpit in the middle of the ring to aim.
Also experimented with adding warheads inside the cubes, the red/blue cube will explode on impact ;)

** Update 3 **
Fine tuned the gravity fields some more and now there is a lot less damage when fireing smaller objects! The big blocks still do a bit of damage, but they also do a lot of damage on impact ;)
Next step is to add a way to feed "ammo" to this monster :)

Usage:
1. Go to the cockpit in the middle and turn on the groups called "launcher (turn on to launch)" and "pusher (reverese to launch)".
2. Put stuff inside.
3. Repeat step 2.

Have fun :)

It looks like a giant cyclotron, does that mean I'll get radiation poisoning If I use it?

It accelerates slowly, does not have very strong containments for the top/bottom and falls apart fairly quickly. Could do with more work.

What if you were to add a connector/ejector and a cargo container. You can store your items in the cargo container and turn the connector/ejector on. It drops the items into the Mass Driver so you don't have to. It could be a great way to start progress towards an automated version of the Mass Driver.

The latest update messed up the groups, and now they don't seem to stay saved but get messed up again and again and again... :/
Basicly there's a few gravity generators that are turned off, they need to be turned on, and the rotor (one of the rotor 2:s with some maximum angle settings) with 5 generators attathed to it need to be turned 90 degrees, so just reverse the direction. All of theese are locaded near the cockpit.
