Figured out the thrust equation

[Lt_Duckweed]

I have derived the equation for thrust with the new mechanic, turns out it is:

[(x-1)(y-1)(z-1)]+(n^1.125)
Where n is the number of blocks

I have tested it for 51x51x51, 101x101x101, and 201x201x201 and
come out with figures of 125,282.7; 1,000,614.3; and 8,001,337.5
These figures match exactly the figure you get when you run through the equation.

It is quite possible to make a ship with a 300-1 thrust mass ratio with sustainable power regeneration. I have done it.

That seems... potentially abusable :P

It needed nerfed before. XD Now it's just silly. I'm sure it will get fixed up.

Should have some kind of cap on it, at least.

If they change it now, it will break quite a few ships.

I think it works fine now. All that extra thrust needs power behind it; and power still softcaps at 1.2mil.

Furthermore, docked objects add to your mass; so the idea is you free up more space for power to cope with the thrust needed to handle that extra mass.

Those ships are taking advantage of a broken mechanic anyways, the way I see it. Hopefully, it won't remain this way, it's far too unbalanced. This game just hasn't been balanced yet.

Why? I was sharing my knowledge of the current game. Not suggesting anything.

Not sure why :P Moved back for you.

Thanks bro! Probably the misleading title. I coulda worded that a lot better.
