The deadliest ship i've ever built

This ship will definitely break some records... mainly the speed at which it will get banned on servers for railgun abuse!

[@stragepinetree]

I've been trying to make a ship using a gravity drive like the one you have on yours but with my drive I need to constantly double tap movement keys/dampeners in order to for the gravity gens to activate unlike yours, which is completely smooth. Do you have any idea what could cause this and if so do you have any idea how to fix it?

[@JackOfNothing]

What do you mean when you say the hinge stops desync?

[@TheUrit]

If a ship doesn't have a subgrid, it uses client prediction to show you where it is. This means that when you shoot, your client and server position can differ, sometimes significantly, which means you can shoot and miss on the server but shoot and hit on your screen. Since the server is authoritative, this obviously does no damage if you miss on the server. Adding a rotor or hinge with a head (optionally with some other blocks, but even the head is enough) forces the game to use unpredicted movement, meaning that your movements might be a bit laggier on your client but they are 100% accurate relative to the server.

Thanks

[@kinngrimm]

@@TheUrit a rotor head would be enough? like having a large grid motor head somewhere on the grid? but there would be no subgrid ... or is the game then treating the main grid as subgrid even if nothing else is connected?

Hey physics, I know this isn't your style but I would love to see your take on a star trek federation style ship

[@holyperceval6310]

That intro earned my thumbs up !

[@charliemouzer9214]

Nice Ship!

[@AdamSchadow]

I understand you want to make this look nice but there is no reason to have any side thrust to not use a helm and to not just use a simple macro so you dont rely on all the even controllers and ion thrusters not getting shot out and it would also allow you to single fire the railguns like a machine gun.

[@physicsdontapply9982]

i know all of this can be done with macros but dont expect everyone who uses the steam workshop to also have the required macros Also i prefer to fire my rails all at once

[@AdamSchadow]

@@physicsdontapply9982 You could at least remove the side thrust

[@seraph1981r]

I'm always afraid of building gravity-driven ships - how to "control" them? Scripts?

[@rethscion]

Event controllers, event, thrust % threshold, turn on either mass blocks gravity generators, or both. No thrust %turn off

[@physicsdontapply9982]

use event controllers and thrusters to get WASD input, and use timers to tell the gdrive what to do it kinda sucks to set up lol

[@ironeagle7661]

How do you get this to print in survival with all grids attached? I printed it and when I released it it went nuts

[@PanBrodacz]

Yeah it's cool that lines are green 😁😆

[@stragepinetree]

how do you get your ship to accelerate so fast? Also with all the mass blocks and gravity generators?

[@physicsdontapply9982]

yeah the mass blocks and gravity generators are how

[@stragepinetree]

@@physicsdontapply9982 yea but how do they make u accelerate faster?

[@physicsdontapply9982]

@@stragepinetree The grav generators create an artificial gravity field which pushes on the mass blocks, which in turn provides a very large force upon your ship

[@stragepinetree]

@@physicsdontapply9982 do you think you could link to a tutorial about this?
