stopped ships make easy targets for enemy fighters smile  We'll solve spawncamping in better ways than nerfing the abilities of ships wink  Unless the engine forces us to I don't think we'll be using newtonian physics though.

Why, constant thruster adjustments and spinning randomly out of control into oncoming capital ship hulls doesn't sound fun to you?







Me neither big_smile

Re: Stopping in space

We solve it like Star Trek.

Billions of micro air jets all over the hulls to give you a handle of ships like you're in - 9.80 M/S^2 gravity.

Hey, you got your Star Wars in my Star Trek!!

IN space if you turn off your engines you don't stop you keep a contant speed. Unless you start thrusting in the opposite direction. In, REAL space anyways.

In starwars space yo udon't stop either... but it kinda depends how you look at it... I guess...

I think you do stop in SW space. SW ships have a maximum speed, and don't keep going faster. They essentially have the physics of a car.

They have the physics of unstallable VTOLs.

Re: Stopping in space

Yeah, you solve the "stopped camping fighter" problem by the simple fact that such a fighter makes a great target - not by making stopping a fighter impossible.
