Nah, everyone knows its because he hasn't installed it on a SSD. He probably intentionally didn't install it on a SSD to make SC look bad. Probably just another FUDster!
At least 5km diameter I think.

That certainly qualifies as insignificantly tiny. So it's basically a Freelancer planet.Haha .. poor Mike. I genuinely feel for the guy, sometimes.
edit - in fact I think it was today he was telling someone on his stream that the servers were SO bad at the moment, and asked if he was looking forward to 3.11 he said Nope. It looks like such a chore for him to play ...
So CIG has talked about how jerk is added in 3.10.
Jerk meaning acceleration isn't instantaneous but has to ramp up to reach max acceleration rate.
I tested (and then talked to some other people) it. There is no jerk for acceleration. Using the ship's g-meter, if you strafe in any direction, it its max g's for that direction instantly. Can't really measure it on rotations (roll, pitch, yaw).
However, after talking to some other players about it. Apparently the jerk is on the ramp down of acceleration? Kind of hard to explain.
But if you thrust forward, you instantly reach max acceleration. However, when you stop thrusting forward, the acceleration does not go zero instantly, but bleeds down.
And this might be what is making me hate it, because it feels so unnatural.
EDIT: this isnt true, went back in and looked at it. 2 posts down.

What the hell is the thinking there? Are they trying to encourage 'premature deceleration' to keep those speeds low or something?
Or like just trying to encourage you to stay at lower speeds full stop, because it means less time spent in that decel zone?
Sounds pretty crappy / punitive on the face of it anyway. Like it’ll just add 'lag' into any attempt to match manoeuvres.
I take it back. I was told about the jerk on accel ramp down. Went back in and looked at it and I'm not getting jerk either way.
You can see the g-meter in the bottom left of the hud. Jumping from 12gs to 0, 18 to 0, etc.

Multicrew mining does work already...I do it fairly often in the Mole and it's fairly decent. It's everything else multicrew that doesn't work...plus the Mole is now broken by the latest patch.
From your other posts it sounds like that's true for both ways someone could take that sentence.
Multicrew turrets bring the pain now. As in they work really well.
Not as described in the design notes, which was what was referenced: https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/engineering/14522-Design-Notes-Mining
We'll see what occurs when it lumbers out of PTU....I've no doubt that persistence will wipe out half my gear...or all of it like it did when the PTU dropped. This new flight model...haven't been able to test it except that the Caterpillar now takes afterburners to get it off the hangar floor at area 18...starts drifting backward immediately the legs leave the ground then explodes a few hundred feet above the hangar...whilst I'm looking for these awe inspiring 'splines' folk keep going on about.From your other posts it sounds like that's true for both ways someone could take that sentence.
Why afterburners work with vertical mav thrusters at all...nobody seems to be able to tell me
I don't care much about design notes...I never read them so they're irrelevant to me at any rate. What Ci¬G have come up with is a passable and fairly enjoyable (when it works) attempt at providing multicrew mining...behind the paywall of a ship purely designed to offer the multicrew mining experience, which is entirely another matter...but it still works acceptably as is.
Getting analy retentive about SC design documents is a sure way to madness...since 95% of what's in those documents has failed to materialise, will never appear or are some pure dream crafting nonsense from the snake oil salesman. I only give SC credit where it's due...which isn't that often...but the multicrew mining works.

That was the point, though, that their design notes are pointless =w=
We've all known this for 8+ years already...so what's that got to do with multicrew mining?
May I ask if throttles on flight sticks are supported where you can vary your thrust or is it just binary on/off? Everything I ever read about it indicates it's the latter.
This should be an easy question to answer, but isn't. I'll come back in a bit and give it a shot.
