NPC collision damage

[Buk1973]

I posted this in the wrong forum so hopefully I can get some help re-posting it here.

I just started up a Discovery server for my friends and we are having an issue with NPCs colliding with us in the trade lanes and killing us. Is there a way to either turn that damage off or minimize it? It seems the Behemoth is the worst offender but any freighter can tear us up pretty bad. I have edited the "constants" config file and adjusted the "collision damage factor" from 3 to 1 but that didn't have any apparent effect.

Thank you.
