The bumper has:
1. No investment required (noob ship)
2. No risk accrued (noob ship)
Actually, I was going to make a longer list, but I think I can stop there. That pretty much defines 'exploit' in those two points.
The fix is to change the impact formula so that mass effects the collision more accurately. Also, remove Prop Mod added mass from the equation.

The combined energy of the two bodies (Wall + Glass * Velocity of Glass) is redirected in equal portions into each body. The Glass, having much lower mass, is destroyed by it's portion of the energy. The Wall, being very large and having much higher mass, harmlessly absorbs it's portion energy.
IOW, the Stabber should crumple like an accordion and the freighter should take a small amount of collision damage- probably not even breaking shields. Since we generally don't want collisions to do damage (Can O WormsGäó), in game we should just see the Stabber bounce off.

At several times the speed that the freighter is able to move naturally?
Ummm. Nope.

So it will take 1b of assets in order to gank 1b of assets (not counting cargo)?
Sounds fair to me.
