particle friction

This is only a little thing, but it would be useful to have a friction setting for particle systems. Good for things like air-resistance and lets particles look 'lighter', like feathers.

Just create a new ParticleAffector which scales the velocity - not difficult.

the closest thing I can find is the linear force affector, but nothing that can scale the velocity. The only thing I can think of is to set a linear force affector to average 0 0 0 but this has little effect.

I think this is what you're looking for:

And as Sinbad said, you can always write your own. When I needed to create my own, I just copied the InterpolationAffector and changed the names and code in the right places, quite easy really.
