If box size does not matter anymore... :pin just what way does this even remotely relate to the thread...With a ship >2km minimum radius, you can make a distance-holder like:
H . . . H . . . H . . . H
. . T . . . . . . . T . .
. . . . . T . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . . . . . . .
H . . . H . . . H . . . H
. . . . . . T . . . . . .
. . . T . . . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . . . T . . .
H . . . H . . . H . . . H
. . . . . . . . . . . . .
. T . . . . T . . . . T .
. . . . . . . . . . . . .
H . . . H . . . H . . . H
And use free floating drone-sized sniper turrets, as evasion with passive push is a viable strategy again ((as your core is just out of range))
Actually, you need six new operations per block. For turning, you need the mass times the distance squared in each plane. For center or mass calculations, you need to multiply the mass by each coordinate and add it to the sum. Then you get the average by dividing it by the sum.Calculating the exact values would involve the same calculations on every single block, which is not practical.
That's kind of the effect I was going for with my logarithmic formula, but rather than hitting a minimum and having a 1 million block ship turn at the same rate as a 10 million block ship, the 10 million block ship would turn ~20% slower, giving the smaller ship a much needed advantage. The difference between a fighter and a titan would be smaller though.I'm going to provide a veteran's view on the whole situation.
The dimensional turning system was introduced a while back to help ships turn faster; when mass was the primary dictating factor in the turning formula, it became VERY easy to get a ship that couldn't turn for shit.
I think schema should lower the minimum turn rate by default to something around 0.5. But that's just me.
Mechanics course #1 :Pi'm not math-savvy so i'll let you guys handle the equations and stuff. honestly, i can't even begin to understand all that math stuff you guys are doing in the thread...
Ok, I meant that it takes a certain amount of force to move a certain weight (mass) and was talking about calculating the mass that was being moved when you turn the ship one way; then you take that and compare it to the amount of energy going into rotating the ship. I'm not very literate in physics so I'm not sure as to specific values on what is being moved and how much force is needed to move it.i'm not math-savvy so i'll let you guys handle the equations and stuff. honestly, i can't even begin to understand all that math stuff you guys are doing in the thread...
