Don't tempt the fool! I might do just that - with a T9...![]()
Did an emergency stop at 2001c [yesnod]
Was expecting to see the insurance screen, or severe damage.
Well:
Shouldn't you fly through the cockpit glass anyway? I mean, at 2001c it should drop out and decelerate quickly, but from 2001 x light speed to 300 m/s is a very fast drop
Just make sure you fill your cargo hold with platinum, it's umm, heavier, yeah that's it... [yesnod]

Nothing really happened. :S Didn't see cracks on the canopy, but got "canopy compromised" when doing an emergency stop, next emergency stop just gave more damage.try it again with a slightly damaged ship, make sure your Canopy is also slightly cracked. Watch what happens when you do a high speed drop![]()
I think there should be a limit to drop out of SC.
Let's say up to 200c?, if you're above you have to slow down in order to drop.

So yes, here's the T9 testing, four 2001c drops in a row. [yesnod]
1st by thrusters off, 2nd by FSD off and 3rd & 4th by emergency stop.
Had military grade composite for added mass + 532 tonnes Tantalum in hold for same effect. Modules a mix of E, B & A rated ones.
Would be more entertaining if really high SC speeds had a chance of ship destruction, even when flying mint condition ship. Some random element thrown in, having module health, module integrity ratings, SC speed & reason of dropout as factors.Would kinda defeat the purpose of performing an emergency drop. The ship can receive damage at high SC speeds, a random factor seems to be calculated, if your ship is in poor condition the higher level of damage it will receive from the drop.
There's a wee bit of difference between "slightly damaged" and "heavily damaged".Ah, I was talking about a heavily damaged ship doing a drop. I did a few tests, left silent running until my canopy was quite badly damaged, some modules and hull down below 50%. Did a drop and the canopy blew out on me, lost thrusters and FSD. Had to reboot and limp home.
