Thruster on the other side?
« on: October 29, 2017, 01:19:19 PM »

Like we can see on my gif:

I suggest than all Thruster put with a angle between 80degree and -80degree   go on the 100% length when the ship decelerate and not when he accelerate. Nothing change when the ship turn or slide.

I do not think It exist ship who will have problem with this suggestion.
But for ship who have "burst back thruster", this is a problem...

This seems stupid to put here a thruster on the other side, but maybe this sprite of my gif is wrong, but some ship with protected thruster cannot have a good effect with this problem.

Thank you o/

This is really easily done with the FX system I wrote; code for doing most of this is in Vacuum, too.  Doing this in-engine with Alex's thrusters really isn’t necessary :)

OR you could just do something closer to what Shadowyards did with their vectoring engines, and not worry about using an extremely unstable mod platform. :P

That project’s not “unstable”, code-wise and it’s way more efficient than putting another EngineAPI onto a ship, but hey, SMH, lol.
