A mass-driver is a device used to accelerate an object. Depending on design, mass-drivers can be used as weapons, mining tools, or delivery systems.

The railgun is the only good mass driver. if you are breaking rocks, energy weapons are a much better choice, and if you are breaking ships, the rail gun does it twice as well as any of the others. watch out for the high power usage though.
Notes
- Penetration is a hidden stat that multiplies the damage of a projectile. Because of it, railguns deal twice the damage one'd expect from their projectile mass and muzzle velocity.
