1L can't get 100T out of Alioth?
That's just weird.
For me, my 3L atmo 4L space  freighter can lift 1000T out of Alioth. But it has 12 M wings for atmo lift and doesn't use its VTOL engines when loaded.
 

Fly horizontally, building up speed. Once it starts to reach 1000kph, start to edge upwards to about 2.5k~3k... and level off, regaining some speed if needed (try to hit 900 or so) Then ease upwards (I go about 30 degrees) and you'll soon reach 3.6k or whatever height it is where your space engines kick in and propel you to orbit...
You don't need more than about 1G of L atmo thrust  lift to get you high up if you are using wings, but you'll need >>1G space thrust (probably >1.5G) to leave Alioth in a timely fashion without wasting too much fuel.

 

-- edit: the L atmo engines and space engines are buffed with "thrust handling" skills and the pilot has thrust management piloting skills.

Oh i see so the wings are the key  i will need to add more, i have just a couple of M wings. What about ailerons? are important too?

Yes. I basically built a flying L container on an S core with 500 tons cargo capacity off Alioth with only 2 L engines, 6 Ms, and 2 M ailerons. It's pretty easy.

 

I know that, but i was meaning that i would like even to make at the same time a decent looking ship xD

I have 8 M wings on my hauler and 3 L atmo engines. ~800t cargo capacity

~1300km/h max speed

Your goal is to stay above the attitude with less then 10% athmosphere long enough for space engine to kick in and achieve escape velocity. More engines will increase speed which wings convert into lift, but at <10% there is hardly any lift and a limit to how fast you can go before you tear apart the ship.

 

So you have two options.

- Add so much atmos engine power that you have enough speed while climbing to punch through using brute force

- Add more wings/stab so that you have enough lift to maintain <10% and let the space engines build speed until you have escape velocity (somewhat similar to how it is done RL, minus the wing part)

 

 

Thank you guys! I was able to leave increasing lift and atmo engines  now the next challenge will be to travel with 1 L Container full  Do you think tht i will be able to do that with an S Dynamic Core ship?

ok thank you

I meant rockets to assist in leaving the atmosphere

Yes but the problem is that i can't craft them yet....maybe i'll buy them from the market then

Rockets maybe?

Don't have the mats to craft hem and anyway my base is on Madis

Install more wings, replace 7 M engines with one L, minimize frontal resistance

You think that more wings can help me? Don't they slowdown the ship?

Hi guys,

 

so i built a cargo ship on Mantis with an M container on a S dynamic core. On Mantis i could leave easly the atmosfere, but now i'm on Alioth with 100t of materials on Alioth and i can't leave the atmosfere.

 

I have a L atmosfere engine and 7 M atmo engines. Do you have any advice to help me to leave the Alioth atmo?

 

Thank you!

Thank you guys!

[Question about finding T3 Ores]

Thank you so much!

 

I was already afraid that i had to craft Territory Scanners (these are already expensive for my pockets  )

 

So they will just tell you wich kind of ores are in a single hex? This units don't tell you even at which depth are the ores?

[Question about finding T3 Ores]

Hi all,

 

so now i'm at that stage of game that i'll need t3 and better ores to starting making a warp drive. Actually i'm trying to mine Pyrite on Thades, but it seems that is very tought to find it.

 

I digged an hole 900m depth and digged a 4 tunnels (One going Nord, one south etc) 2km long each, but it seems that it didn't help.

 

So anyone of you have some suggestion about findind T3 ores or better? 

 

Than k you!
