If they have artificial gravity tech how come the space station needs rotating rings?

Amarcarts posted:If they have artificial gravity tech how come the space station needs rotating rings? Because no one at CIG actually ever thinks about things before implementing them, or thinks about them before telling people they're going to implement them. Which is why 90% of the proposed game mechanics type poo poo is just Crobbits hand waving and making poo poo up on the fly, and makes very little sense and likely won't be implemented as promised, or ever.

Erenthal posted:Okay, I'm having a real hard time keeping up with all the new cult terminology, but what the gently caress is "unmelt"? I get that melting is turning ships* into store credit to buy other ships**, but how do you unmelt? You turn store credit into ships? Isn't that what, you know, a store does anyway? Unmelting is when you contact customer support and ask them to let you re-buy a package you have already melted. So if you melted down ship A to buy ship B, then come across some more disposable income you would like piss away, you can get customer support to restore ship A and let you re-buy it.

hanales posted:As a person that does not play space sims nor know anything about space travel beyond star wars, is that in some way realistic? it's really weird and looks like goat simulator or something. As other said they seem to have no mass or inertia at all. They stop dead and turn instantly. Massively overdamped.

Daztek posted:Hi everyone! I've been looking into this game for awhile now. I must admit that at first I was skeptical that a game of this magnitude (and caliber) could actually be delivered. However, after seeing the funding status and some actual gameplay from people I'm convinced that this is do-able. CIG really has some spectacular developers on hand.

TTerrible posted:That video really shows the ships moving like players in noclip mode. It is weird as gently caress. Ship movment and physics is jank af. FPS movments are jank af. I mean, the player controlller has all the quality you'd find in a steam greenlight "passion project" with 2 devs using stock unity assets. This is one of the many reasons I question CIG's programming "talent." It's like they scooped up a bunch of cheapo junior Enterprise Java devs whose only notable achievement is hiding stealthmode in the corporate folds avoiding layoffs, hoping these do-nothing code-monkeys would magically become 10x'ers and miracle-hack a viable game engine over top of legacy CryEngine, which has only ever been good at "make look pretty" and has bunk netcode in the first place. I guarantee you the senior (expensive) CryTek guys CIG poached took one look at the bumblefuck cludge of CIG shitcode and said, "Oh HELL no" and loving git init'd the repo.

TTerrible posted:As other said they seem to have no mass or inertia at all. They stop dead and turn instantly. Massively overdamped. Here is what I think is happening: Croberts wants fighter plane turning battles and G-induced blackouts, right? Jet fighters can pull 9 Gs in real life. To replicate this in a spaceship without fudging the physics, the thrusters have to be capable of 9 Gs acceleration. That's fast as gently caress, which is why the ships seem to accelerate instantly. (Anyone with alpha access want to test the actual acceleration in the game?)

Before my kids opened their daily LEGO advent calendar the other night, my 5-year old said, "I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IT IS TODAY. IT'S A PLANE." After opening the door he squinted at the pieces for a moment. It was actually a bulldozer. He ignored most of the set, put together 4 random pieces, and flew it around like a plane saying, "SEE [BROTHER], TOLD YOU!" That's my Derek Smart Star Citizen Christmas story. God bless.

BMan posted:Here is what I think is happening: Bingo. Very well put. This is exactly why ships just seem to float without mass or inertia. Its not that they don't have have mass, its that the maneuvering thrusters are insanely powerful. Spergs in the brown sea did the math on the actual thruster acceleration, I'm not going to bother looking it up. Suffice it to say there are a lot of pissed spergs that space combat they dreamed up ended up being WW2 dogfighting in space.

A guy that's probably a real life nazi is named after a historical nazi that repeatedly lost to Monty's drunkards and conscripts loses to the superior ramming tactics of his enemy.

I assume it's the first, and this highlights for me how Asteroids had a more realistic physics model than any 3d space combat sim.

Its not that they don't have have mass, its that the maneuvering thrusters are insanely powerful.  The larger ship goes spinning off like a top. It doesn't react like its mass is commensurate to its size at all. It looks unnatural, like it's a balloon space ship instead of an actual one made of metal and glass. That's not a function of thruster power, because it's not reacting to its thrusters. It's because it hasn't got enough weight to it. tooterfish fucked around with this message at 18:41 on Dec 10, 2015 |

I assume it's the first, and this highlights for me how Asteroids had a more realistic physics model than any 3d space combat sim. Yes top speed does in fact have to be limited. Even with Asteroids if you keep accelerating forever you eventually crash the game (or hit a top speed). Top speed has to be limited for gameplay purposes if you want human controlled anything. tooterfish posted:That doesn't fully explain this poo poo: I was only talking about the ships looking goofy when flying around. When it comes to collisions or any number of goofy poo poo... Are you telling me SC is a buggy mess? I'm shocked! SHOCKED!
