Artemis Artillery

Powerful artillery strike, damaging a single tile and pushing adjacent tiles.

Rock Accelerator

Launch a rock at a tile, pushing adjacent tiles.

These descriptions make it sound like both of these weapons do the same thing, except the rock accelerator does 1 more damage.

In reality, it appears that the artillery pushes in all directions, whereas the rock pushes only in perpendicular directions (that is, to the sides, but not forward or backward).

Would it be possible to get a clearer description?

It also might help to include more than one Vek in the Rock preview animation, so it can be seen that Vek on the sides get pushed but Vek in front and back of the shot don't.

There are a lot of weapons descriptions that would really benefit from the use of push descriptors. Simple things like:

Lateral
Four-way
Fore/Aft
Front/Back
Left/Right
Forward/Back
Toward/Away

I would guess the the descriptions are minimalist for size/space constraints (relying on the animations), but for some of the more similar weapons they would be a great help in distinguishing the differences.
