Sable Phoenix Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Since the latest updates, the only thing they affect is roll speed. Big whoop. Roll speed is the least important of the turning speeds. Unless I'm just missing something incredibly obvious, I don't see how gyros are at all useful any more. They're certainly not worth their cost in mass and volume, no matter how small it might be.

Canute Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Or you can say others. Why do we need thruster, except you want/need to slide. Add 3 small gyro for rolling at each axis, and add the subspace thing for breaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unbekannt1984 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Since the latest updates, the only thing they affect is roll speed. ^^ Did you try to rotate those Gyros? There should be an arrow that indicates which rotation is improved... Get my Galactica from http://www.avorion.net/forum/index.php/topic,1717.0.html and try it out, it has 2 Gyros, none of those is buffing the roll-speed :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sable Phoenix Posted March 28, 2017 Author Share Posted March 28, 2017 And that would be the incredibly "obvious part" I mentioned. I didn't realize they were now directional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19MT70 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 I learned something new today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahaha :) Here's another hint, when you put them inside your ship, they will all look the same, so paint them. Red/Green/Blue so you know what the hell each one is.

Canute Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Yeah, with the latest patch you could rotate block, and i though lets try to rotate the engine block to break. Boomer, block rotate, but engine still blow backwards. They should completly remove thruster and let engine blocks blow at different direction then backwards.

Problem is that that's not how the flight mechanics are coded in the game, so that would cause all sorts of issues :) But yes I agree, we should be able to plop an engine on the front for fast braking.

Alpha393 Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Before we make engines everywhere a necessity can we make the darn things turn off when they aren't burning? I wouldn't mind being able to control a ship entirely through thrusters tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
