The video posted here ^^ is very good for Newt space flight combat. I did not play the old Elite but did play some Pioneer. In the old days of ED there was a lot of talk about flying turrets and that it wasn't desired; but it's part of reasonably realistic space combat simulation. I used these tactics in Evochron. I'd like to see a new space game that doesn't model its flight model like atmospheric dogfighting. I know there's a reason to make it easier or more similar to flight sims like MSFS or IL2 in space.
I'm flying almost perma FA off, and this is a gamey balancing thing because it's an online game, and I don't like it either. I have speed, I keep speed unless something stops me.
Me too, thing is that as it is, is less game breaking for me, than as you describe would be. To implement such, you would have to do so in a way that would surely make the game engine cough and spit out fur balls, every time you accelerate. Why? You might ask ... Because you would no longer be in a 3D space at all, the game universe just grew exponentially, and the edges between server instances just got extremely fuzzy.
And what is right ? What does entirely explain all natural phenomena in a perfect way?
Therefore can be an effective pillar for many simpler calculations.
If one needs more precision for specific situations, the Laws of Relativity are there to use.
Therefore, for many situations entirely adequate.
I now understand what you are saying.
We are talking about FDev's decisions in the making of the game, not some in-game solution.
Yes, I am. Read my reply to @varonica.
No. Not interested in philosophical interpretations when it pertains to Scientific matters.
Then you will never be a doctor of philosophy.
They could at least keep me flying at boost speed in FA off. That would make it a lot better already. Technical restrictions are technical restrictions. It's no use to complain about those (see fleet carriers and console development), but I am very sure the automatic brakes after boosting is a balancing thing. If this was a single player game we'd most likely have mods, and that would be one thing I'd mod away. Among many others.
It did indeed; I love these subjects!
Oh yes, and things get really interesting here, how high gravity quantise in this case? This could lead to the very real practice of magic, by which we make a barrel of Lavian brandy appear out of thin air! Just as an electron miraculously jumps into another orbit, so the matter would miraculously jump into our gravitational, now I refrain from using orbit here as it would be way to misleading, our gravitational group or set, our branch of time. From this point on things take on a distinctly 'Terry Pratchett' tone.If we consider the theory of non-contiguous spacetime or loop quantum gravity as true you can age it in relation to some of the universe, that's not very helpful though.
I don't think so. For example conservation of momentum is a direct consequence of the 2nd and 3rd laws, and is very much valid and exact, as are those two laws. Ultimately those laws are a consequence of conservation of energy, which is extraordinarily universal, even in GR.
If this was a single player game we would probably have the ability to fast forward time.They could at least keep me flying at boost speed in FA off. That would make it a lot better already.

But well, it is the way it is, so I'll have to keep hitting the boost button to keep the speed up. Object in space or not.
Yes. Like in Elite 2 Frontier and First Encounters. I am pretty sure, the online thing is also why jumps happen instantly now. In the prequels they took a really long time.
That only has meaning for Anglo-Saxon countries.
As far as I know this is because of (unsurprisingly) historical reasons. Quite old historical reasons. Probably comes from the time when physics, math and theology were considered sub-categories of philosophy, before the enlightenment era, when they were (pretty much in essence) separated into their own independent categories.
The scientific method is pretty much the same, no matter the country, because most cultures have a similar underlying philosophy; Though it does differ, because every country's underlying philosophy is slightly different, this is an aspect of culture that very much pertains to its language, any philosophy worth its weight, addresses the subject of how it is that language effects perception, how perception and language are interrelated. Scientific practice, without any understanding of this, is somewhat akin to mathematics without an inkling as to the implications of Godels incompleteness theorem.
