    @brief
        A Pickup which can manipulate the Speed of a Pawn.

        There are 5 parameters that can be cosen:
        - The @b speedMultiply, specifies a factor by which the Spaceships speed is multiplied. The default is 1.
        - The @b speedAdd, specifies a value that is added to the speed of the Spaceship. The default is 0.
        - The @b activationType <em>immediate</em> or <em>onUse</em>, defines if the SpeedPickup is used when it's picked up or only after the player chooses to use it. The default is <em>immediate</em>.
        - The @b durationType Can be either <em>once</em> or <em>continuous</em>. For <em>once</em> the SpeedPickup is just active for as long as it is used, for <em>continuous</em> the SpeedPickup is active only for the specified duration. The default is <em>once</em>.
        - The @b duration The time in seconds the SpeedPickup is active at the most. The default is 0.

        An example, how a SpeedPickup could be defined in XML could be:
        @code
        <SpeedPickup
            speedMultiply = 2.0
            speedAdd = 10.0
            activationType = "immediate"
            durationType = "continuous"
            duration = 30.0
        />
