Rther than limiting the types of drivers that can be mounted on ships, why not just make it so that whenever rocks are thrown above the ship's normal speed and/or above the unladen weight of the ship then the ship(fleet) is thrown backwards at a rate dependant on the unladen mass, thrown mass &/or excess mass(thrown mass-unladel mass) and excess speed(packet speed-normal ship speed)

I'd also suggest it have NO cargo space. Make it a dedicated Mass driver ship. Perhaps a second higher level design with a few shield or mech slots... like bombers.

Regarding the ship's weight I suggest 200kT and 500kT for the higher level ship. 1000kT absolute MAX

The point here is that ship mounted drivers should never be as powerful as base mounted ones, and the "natural" way to limit them is in how much they throw/the speed they throw at.

As for the recoil formula, I'm not sure... I think there should be the potential to be thrown back more than 100ly and that there should also be a chance of the ship "breaking up under the strain"...and if the ship does recoil maybe it should leave its attendant frieghters/OCs behind Shocked
