Summary0000296: Physics doesn't use center-of-mass
DescriptionPhysics always treats the center of an object as its center of mass. COM in the POF specification, and FS2 parses it, but it never uses it. The COM should be close to the center of an object anyway, so this isn't *too* major, but it should really get fixed sometime. From a cursory examination I should think that all anyone needs to do is go through and add the COM offset to the object position, but it should be looked at carefully.
Additional InformationIf anyone decides to work on this bug, hold off until I give the go-ahead. I've got a few things to finish off and commit first.

Update: Go-ahead given. I had to finish my überfeature that will be revealed in February. ;)
