Kinetic Weapons?

So, uh... What exactly do kinetic force cannons do? I'd assume by the name that they'd "push" ships or something?

And are they effective at all?

They knock your target around when they hit which in turn makes it harder for they to keep their aim on you.

If you fly an Evoch-E like I do, and you get hit by the most powerfull kinetic cannon the Banshee you'll be spinning around your axis like a spinning top!......Better have some barf bags with you just in case your prone to motion sickness!....

Against AI, the Banshee isn't all that effective but in a PvP knife fight (up close and personal) they can be deadly.

I feel I must add that the con side of the kinetic weapon is that it drains energy very very fast, and the knock-around factor is easy to get around once you know how. I personally love fighting anyone who is using a kinetic.

Yes, it is like being in a boxing ring and avoid being knocked by your opponent who has shorter arms!....

Yep, also if you are going fast enougha nd in the right direction, the kinetic effect isn't so bad. But In an Evoch, the straight on shot can and will turn you 180 degrees!
