We also need wuppda slices and half tibbles.

I really hope you're right, I'm waiting for better docking for quite a while now.

I had the same problem once. Apparently the ship was in the rotating coordinate system of a nearby planet. It was impossible to stop the ship with another one, but the moving ship was just a ghost copy of the real ship which stood still in a neighbouring sector.

Can you proof that?

This doesn't answer my question when schema will do that.

That's basically how the inertia tensor is calculated.

When will we get better turets? What do you think about improving build mode?

Powersupply beams got a massive buff in the latest update. I haven't tested it, yet, but looking at the numbers this thread is obsolete.

A missile explosion turns blocks into debris, which still hampers ship rotation for a short while until it flys away. This looks good. This severely punishes the use of decorative elements that have low mass but increase ship dimensions like antennas.

Nothing has to be recalculated. Adding the hundredth block doesn't require more operations than adding the first block. Doesn't happen if the code only allows rotations about the desired axes. Edit: Calculating the inertia tensor and center of mass can be done when a ship is built, either when...

The physics is simple, the problem is that it requires advanced math knowledge. However, creating a 3D engine requires advanced math as well, so schema should be sufficiently qualified.

This is exactly what I don't want, since it favours doomcubes.

... and a penta version!

Not necessarily, the maximum copy frame size can be increased via config file. But it would be far easier with this.

Why is this thread tagged "Brainstorm This", are there any open questions?

I'd say as long as we are still waiting for an official comment and people are interested in this it's not really a necro.

Lol, it's just two months, I've seen years old posts being necro'd.

Last time I checked, turrets set to fight missiles also attacked ships, at least when no missiles were present.

Turrets don't fire when parts of their mothership are in the line of fire. But since there's no collision detection between ships and docked turrets it's possible to have most of a turret inside of a ship and just the tip of a gun barrel sticking out.

True, I don't build mining ships without it.
