The Trident seems kinda... light

Apr 09, 2006 LeberMac link
As demonstrated in ths video - Astaroth and I were able to push this trident around rather easily. Seems like it's got the mass of a Behemoth or something, needs to be beefier?

Anyway, mild fun for your viewing enjoyment:

Hmm. I'll have to recheck the mass. It may actually not be that light.. I'd wager it's a lot more massive than the behemoth already. I had to make the HAC really, really massive in order to get it to behave the way my brain expected (and that may not be strictly accurate, since moving objects in 0g is a lot easier than in 1g).

yea, I bashed into a trident with my centaur as it was jumping, and it had spun 90 degrees by the time it jumped.

Hit 'em at the right angle at the right speed and they get a-spinnin' good-like.

Yet catapulting doesn't work to well...not that I'd know >_> <_<

My guess would be you initially reach speeds up to 75mph and then decrease to about 45

Thats why I wanted to try it out, it doesnt spin fast or hard enough to send you flying away.
