    Hello, all. I have some quick questions. Currently, I can't access the dev build because I can't play Star Made, but I had an idea for a drive that could allow a ship to go as fast as the rail's top speed. So I was wondering, what is the default max speed for rails?

    Another thing. Do push/pull effects work on players?

    If the rail speed is above the server's max speed, and you launch a torpedo off the rail, will it continue going over the max speed?

    If a player is behind a wall, and you detonate a damage pulse on the other side of the wall, will he die?

    Isn't space just a metaphor for the sea?

    Damage pulses with push effect/push pulses: Do they affect entities on rails?

    Can Bobby AI be activatable by logic?

    Can an entity be docked to more than one entity?

    Entities don't keep any of their speed after undocking.

    Ah, that's disappointing. I was hoping for some rail-launched torpedoes. Will it be fixed in the next dev build?
    No. I don't think they plan on doing that at all. That just takes away from a potential use for push beams. + it could get technical besides that.

    Here's the one I know

    No. However, push pulse will push players away enough that it's impossible to get closer (and damage them).
    If a player is behind a wall, and you detonate a damage pulse on the other side of the wall, will he die?
    If the pulse does enough damage, yes.
    Isn't space just a metaphor for the sea?
    No. No idea where you got that idea. Space is space, sea is a large body of water (not as large as an ocean though).
    Can Bobby AI be activatable by logic?
    Nope.

    Rail speed is way below running speed.
