Tattypaleo Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Thrusters seem to be relatively untouched in the world of upgrading. Wondering if a System Upgrade, or maybe even blocks dedicated to upgrading whatever it is attached to give some unique flavor to the propulsion mechanics of the game.

0 Blaine Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 I've also noticed the absence of upgrade modules that increase maneuverability. However, I gather (not from direct evidence; just from little tidbits I've seen here and there) that the developers may already think we're able to build ships that are too maneuverable, especially larger ship designs. My 12.45 mll m3, 0.12 Mt superfreighter can turn and pitch .5 rad/sec, for example, and its thruster placement and size definitely isn't ideal.

0 Tattypaleo Posted February 19, 2017 Author Share Posted February 19, 2017 I mean it is very easy to have a massive cap ship to turn like a fighter but for some reason Brake thrust is very very difficult to achieve only reaching about 10-20 m/s at best. While acceleration is over 100 m/s making it worthless to use the engine upgrades (unless you like to crash into everything). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 DougJunior Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 The problem with the break trust is fixed with the new beta branch. You can archive now nice and easy 100 to 200 m/s Brakel with some small thrusters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Blaine Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 The low brake thrust wasn't a huge problem in smaller ships, since I could just spin 180 degrees and come to a halt by applying main engine retro thrust. Unfortunately Avorion's physics aren't quite Newtonian physics and ships constantly try to control themselves automatically, so in large ships, when I spin around and apply retro thrust to brake, I instead go off on a diagonal, even when I don't apply any thrust until the indicator bar is solid orange. This may also be the "drift" trait I've seen tooltips refer to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 DougJunior Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Blaine when you would readed the beta patch logs you would have seen that this bug is fixed to and you even have become a retro burn icon for help when you need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
