Was wondering if the physics engine has capability to emulate magnetism for mass drivers. Such as the once proposed mag-lev launch tube that was like 10 miles long and was to be put up a mountain side.
Or even to fire iron based chunks of asteroid out of a magnetic tube to move it... would be interesting concepts to explore.
I suppose if you wanted to hand code it could be done, just wondering if theres a tie in already in orbiter.

Just for clarifications sake, they are also called linear accelerators
