A Coriolis With Arms!

I think 4g would do you in in an hour or two easily, probably much sooner. I wonder what the radius is down by those canisters at the end of the arms?

Not a pleasant way to go, dumped with the ones who went before into the g chamber.....

How does the force increase, compared to the radius? Is this linear? (It also depends on the rotation speed, but that's a constant for a given station)

I know the difference between the docking bay and the inhabited area in Orbis stations is 0.1 : 1, but the Orbis stations have a more important radius than the Coriolis (Or at least they seem so; I might be wrong).

So, either the Coriolis turns faster, and has like 0.3G in the Docking Bay, or they only have 0.6G in the inhabited area? (Or, last option, I'm completely wrong :) )

First time I'd seen one and I've been to quite a few systems. I guess with the number of systems available, there's still going to be something new.

Those arms certainly look like they're made for hammering ships.

They're actually for a higher gravity location. Areas with gravity are at a premium in space since ED has no artificial gravity (which is why the Empire's capital ships have spinning toroids in them, to provide gravity for officers). Oh, they also do make great ship hammers if you fly into one too... try to avoid that. :)

It's linear compared to the radius and quadratic to the rotation speed.

Yeah I lovingly call them the pylons of doom. I give stations with those a VERY wide girth until I am staring straight into the docking bay.

Normally i drop out in front side of stations. But somehow i managed to drop behind one with an arm in my Lakon-7 full with cargo. I got an adrenaline rush just boosting past those arms and hoping to be fast enough not to get hit by the next :D
