Hyperflux Superships! (Ship Racing)

[Winterhome]

Also, with push being subject to change I'm a bit reluctant to consider it at all. :/

I'll definitely be using it again as soon as the changes are put forth and the thrust system is changed. I love me some afterburners. :P

Until then, it's only useful without overdrive - that is, you can bug physics out to where Push passive kicks you ~10ish m/s above the server speed limit occasionally, but no more than that. :u

I present to you: The Solarburst - Microcoil Supership

As a bounty hunter it feels very odd designing something that not only doesn't kill or disable people but in fact doesn't even have the capability! :P

Stats:
Mass: 101.6
Thrust: 660.7
Overdrive: 100.4% - Effectively 0 power loss
L26 x H15 x W7
Power Regen: 12256.5 e/sec
Shields: 0
Weapons: 0

I believe this question wasn't asked yet: Am I correct in the assumption that turrets can extend over the maximum dimensions?

 

[starhaiden]

Can you use the explosion effect for defense?

Can you use the explosion effect for defense?

Presumably. It's not a weapon, after all.

 

[starhaiden]

yea people push and pull weapons are going to be weaker against my ship

I believe they cannot- I mean, the turret would be part of the racer and would therefore also be included in the max dimensions.

Turrets do count towards your total dimensions, but you must only have one extender on the turret dock.

Just make sure you apply it to 3d space. You need to worry about your y-axis as well!

Z axis*

Racing games in the olden days were top down in my experience :P

 

[Crusade]

I'm talking starmade axes, xD
y = up/down
z = foward/back (throttle)
x = side to side.
:3

 

[Jaaskinal]

Thats true, but the line should still technically look the same between any two or three points. Might get a bit more interesting at four points with three dimensions vs two, but before that you're fine.

Count me in for the microcoil racing, just refitted a failed fighter design/succesful Engine Experiment.

 

[Crusade]

This being about going fast, I suggest making your ships look fast! Most of you have already seen my Thruster Plume mod.
But for those that haven't:

Get it HERE

This is my Microcoil racer, the Firestorm. It has a full interior, inclusing a bed and a toilet (a lot of people seem to need it when flying the ship)

 

[Gamel]

i like this, but is there any server can handle this beside from mushroom?

 

[AtraUnam]

If I make a microcoil ship with rails that expand to dimensions larger than the class dimension is it still a microcoil ship or is it a midcoil ship?

 

[Thalanor]

Since you can't get any thrust from rails, you are actually hampering your ship with rails. As such, it would only be fair if it was a microcoil then.
