mass

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...

I made a plot of the masses of the 1283 gas giants that I've visited (they're all from my EDDiscovery logs) - the masses are on the Y axis, the number found are on the X axis. Interestingly, Class IIIs are the most numerous by far (I thought Class Is would be the most common), and they span the...

With the help of around 20 CMDRs we have tons of mass jump footage for this awesome song by CMDR ToCoSo! https://youtu.be/Y8A3qsSi_Yc

Morning all While I sit here at work shirking all responsibility, I had a thought: Kinetic Ammo Racks as optional internal modules. If, as a PVE combat-oriented T-10 player, I wanted to sacrifice some HRP slots to ensure I was carrying extra ammo for extended runs through the HazRez, I...

I'm sure this is somthing that's been discussed, but for the life of me, I can't find it. I read somewhere recently that with class 5 and higher FSDs Mass Manager is the better experimental effect. Can anyone confirm and also explain why? I don't have nearly as much time as I would like to...

I am sure some of you have noticed that empty cargo racks now have mass and will affect handling and jump range. This is only since the latest patch (3.0) but there wasn't anything in the patch notes. Could FDev please confirm if this was intended and why?

Apparently there is a rumor/myth going about that if 2 thruster rolls gives the same speed, but one roll has a better optimal mass than the other (again, same speed, boost speed, pitch and so on), the one with a better optimal mass will make a ship drift less than the one that achieved the same...

Maybe it has been addressed or mentioned already, I skimmed thru but couldn't find any postings about it.. But I'm a huge mass effect fan, what are the odds of getting a Normandy look alike on elite. I'm not sure how the "Rights" and things of that nature work. But is it a possibility?

Hi - first off - LOVE this game!! I know most people who post, are here to complain or find answers, so wanted to give a good post for a change. I've never had problems with this game crashing or otherwise. Absolutely love everything about this game!! One question tho about today's moon...
