Summary0001076: Gravitic Ripper anti-fast-ship fighter
DescriptionThe Gravitic Ripper creates a gravity field inside the target that pulls it to a standstill, this strains the structure of the target during the deceleration.

A basic fleet ship with a relatively weak but decently ranged attack that gets a large damage bonus proportional to the current speed of the target and makes the target lose all momentum, forcing it to accelerate from zero again. When attacking moving formations this would have a tendency to pull ships out of the formation. Its enemy could decide to hold still to avoid taking much damage from the attacks but of course that means going nowhere until the rippers are gone.

I like this. I think that having a Spire Gravity Drain that acts like a mobile gravity turret (with guns) would also be a cool thing in addition to your suggestion.

Two bonus ships added based off this -- not exactly what was described, but close and based off the general intent here, which I like very much.
