1st question: How much speed can you get up while towing a small asteroid?
2nd question: How long does the asteroid keep that momentum if you sever the connection/ stop to cargo lock beams?
You can probably see where I'm going with this...
3rd question: How much damage would a relatively fast moving asteroid do to a station or large ship if you could hit it?

In early builds this wouldn't have been possible because the space drag was so aggressive, but with the rework and ship mass and momentum having a bigger impact, it might be possible to do this sort of thing now!

I dont have CA but I would say that the disconnection would have to be atleast within 150m of the target, if your ship is fast enough

Only one thing is for sure: players will come up with quite a lot of designs, and some of them can be deadly and become popular XD.
