speed

  1. Max speed needs to vary by weight

    With all ships capable of the same maximum speed it makes any ship going that speed impossible to catch unless: The ship is not moving or is not moving max speed yet The ship is flying towards you The ship is within firing range of your guns to disable The ship runs out of resources (fuel or...

    Nuanced Thruster System Through Simpler Mechanics (All Ships Can Go Max Speed)

    Preface Following the discussino in @kiiyo 's thread about adding medium, long thrusters, I came up with this idea to help add room for creativity when it comes to thrusters. Also, I'd like to note that this change could work better in conjunction with another suggestion I made, see addendum...

Summoning the gods of waiting won’t even help here, there’s so much wait to absorb in our economically and spatially overinflated asteroid belt. Getting to a decent distance into the ‘roid field takes...

    Hard limit on speed

    I saw a post that was made a month or so ago, that was decrying hard limits in video games, and that got me thinking a bit. I have come up with an idea to restrict the speed that spacecraft can go in the game without making a hard 150m/s limit. In my head, this idea will allow for more...
