Utopian Enforcer Cannon is a multi-cannon ?
- Thread starter Darth Ender
- Start date
Anaconda should have Cobra launchers. Cobras are the most damaging missile in the game, lots of ppl have munched it from head-on Cobra collisions.
You just described.... friction [redacted]!
Damn it! That's why they rule this world! I knew it!
Uplifting to see so many people reveling at a genuine mistake
The mistake alone would have been forgotten pretty quickly if he hadn't then ridiculed people who corrected it.
This is why we play Solo. We don't want random non-Newtonian science spoiling our game when we least expect it. NPCs may be dumb but at least they obey the laws of physics.
At some point, Darth Ender is going to be too embarrassed to admit that acceleration is not constant. Aside from the fine examples that everyone has provided of an object in motion in an atmosphere and in space, the formula he quoted provides sufficient evidence that an object doesn't keep accelerating: Acceleration = Force/Mass. Since Mass = constant and Force = 0 (after application and removal of force at time=0), Acceleration = 0/constant = 0. Enough said.

Did you miss his reveal? He was "trolling" to "draw attention" to his thread.
I'm sure you're right, but I'm not sure he ridiculed to a greater extent than the average individual replying. Yes he was wrong, but ridiculing is ridiculing either way - being correct doesn't justify it.
And the still-ongoing collective ridiculing is entirely unnecessary. I'm sure everyone would have been much more considerate if this had happened in person.
edit: oops, just seen my sig - perhaps I should practice what I preach!

If you read some of the OP's messages in other posts where he has little to no regard for other's mistakes or follies by other Cmdrs,,,,,,,
Well,,,,,
You might look at the retorts and replies he has gotten from this thread in a less harsh light.
I have eaten my fair share of crow. And I am quite sure I will be served a few plates in the future.
And yes, it does taste bad. But it tastes worse the longer you avoid consuming it. Better to eat it as soon as it's put on the plate.
Acceleration is relative; our entire universe is either being accelerated due to gravity towards an epicenter, or towards the nearest/largest volume of anti-matter due to opposing electrostatic forces, which ever exerts the most force/acceleration, so is the projectile accelerating? Chew on that for a while...

Okay but I suspect most contributors had no idea of his posting history and two wrongs don't make a right. Just feel for him as I think I've previously read explanations of Newton's laws that use the term 'acceleration' in such a way that the laws could easily be misinterpreted.
Accelerating Numbers
Ha ha ha! This is the best witty response I've seen in ages! Combined with this awesome thread of poor stupidity vs eager physicists, it really has made my day.
