"The Mammoth is the biggest and the strongest industrial ship of the Minmatar Republic. "
But yet has less mass than a cruiser , 12million kg
A frigate has about .75 - 1million kg of mass.
So a frigate traveling at 3000 m/s has the ability to knock a industrial ship with 3billion m x kg /s ? That seems like a baseball being able to move a car.
Now I am not disagreeing with a frigates ability to knock an industrial out of alignment. Just its ability to send it spinning away at 2000m/s and repeatedly be able to do so before the industrial ship stops moving. Whats the point of warp stabilizers then?
Industrial ships should at least have the mass between cruisers and battleships, but not less than most cruisers.

Indeed, I've noticed this....
It seems odd... that something the size of a go kart can knock around something the size of a bus with such ease.

You are forgetting three things, Gravity, Air resistance and friction. In space these are either absent or negligible.

Why dont we pulse our mwd and travel forever then?

physics in this game is a lost cause.

You are forgetting your high school physics, and how momentum is transferred..
I am not saying Eve messed up the basic physics, they do use liquid physics instead of vacuum.
I feel, that the mass of an industrial ship does not reflect its size. and As a result, a frigate can knock it around like a rag doll indefinitely.
Momentum = mass x velocity, Force = mass x acceleration

If you throw a tennis ball at a bowling ball, the tennis ball bounces off and goes flying while the bowling ball moves but not nearly as much.
While if you ram a frigate at a industrial, the frigate barely moves and the industrial moves 6000 meters in a couple of seconds.
