I've been playing this game for almost 10 years now, and I just am not grasping the concept of a GRAVITY WELL in this game, because it certainly is not modeled after the physical properties of our universe. So I flew in to Sinclair Platform, which orbits a decent sized gas-giant. As I approach...
Being new to the forum, I am trying to thread lightly...
I am not sure if my experience is unique, but it is repeatable:
After arriving at a star and supercruising to a station will take substantially less time than starting from the station and supercruising to the star. First I thought "it...
While doing dropship cz's and killing scavs at bases i've noticed that there is low grav and i was thinking, what about artificial gravity that makes it 1g but gets weaker as you leave the base. In my opinion that would be nice as to not make the combat so "arcadey" and make it more realistic. I...
Greetings commanders.
First, I wanted to say that I am not a physicist. I might be wrong in some cases but lets not forget this is a game.
Here is my proposition to shorten the time spent on supercruise with a mini game or maybe a game mechanic.
Excuse my drawing skills, this is all I can do...
Hey y'all. Gravity is crazy lethal in ED Horizons, but I feel like the way most people are going to find out about that is when they splat their ship against a planet for the first time. Worse, the current landing tutorial takes place on a low-gravity planet, which gives the mistaken impression...
So do I win a prize?
That is one eight two seven for those who cannot see. I can go faster, just you wait!
ps - despite the title, this actually has little to do with ships (please don't move to that subforum). I believe I could do the same in my Type-7 if I wanted!
So I started doing gravity breaking and it seems to be pretty random and hard to pull off unless you know the planet and station that you are going to.
For example:
- tried gravity breaking on a planet and no matter how close I got or speed I had, did not slow me whatsoever. Seems like the...
Commanders, i have made an important discovery. I have realised how to increase the jump range of all ships (including captial) by 89%. I introduce an anti gravity technology that is used in our age but can be utilised in the Elite Universe.
Apparently this technology is used in american b2...
Hiya folks, earlier today I managed to get an SRV into orbit above Mitterand Hollow. It seems the Gnosis has caused a gravity anomaly!
This is the moment of takeof

and this highlight is a 10 minute clip later on when the SRV was some 700km...
I'm not sure if these are a glitch or completely possible with the current game mechanics but these are some insane G's!!!
I wasn't sure how to post pics to this so I'll link imgur

To add some fun and another reason to get close to planetary bodies (other then and on top of appreciating the beauty)
I propose adding another "layer" around moons and planets, similar to the glide vector when landing.
This new outer layer would, with some skill, allow us to use gravity...
