    I was monkeying around with the rail system the other day a thought to myself there is only one thing that would make these things cooler, an end block that would allow the rail system to be used to launch small ships without using their power to begin with. This block would undock the ship the minute the ship reached it and let the momentum of the rail launch the ship of the front of the rail. You would be able to make ship launching canons. That would really be cool.

    You can use push beams or push pulse to achieve that.
    If you are going to use push beams to accelerate something down a rail, might as well just remove the rail then. It's only slowing you down really.

    I'm new to the game so you might not want to tell me but you say there is a way to shove a ship through a tunnel and out the other end going full speed before you engage the throttle so the ship doesn't get caught in the tunnel. I'd like to learn if your willing to teach. It could come in hand while launching support when pirates swarm. You can probably tell I've been taken out one too many time by those guy, and the atmosphere, and food were not agreeable.

    Try hitting it with beam + push effect combo. Last time I tried it it thrown my ship 2,2 km away.
