[Ship Build]

Dual.sh has a calculator for what you need to get ship out of atmo - not sure about how accurate myself but people were using it. Beside that you can see weights in the crafting menu. If you want to calculate it yourself - F = m*a works  mostly but get complicated with atmo density changing engines and lift efficiency. Also g force change with height.

Yeah, I feel ya. I am new at the game, so still getting over this learning curve. Appreicate the information, though!

@Elrood is there a place I can see a weight to elements required guide?

Oops, I planned for either two Container M or one Container L. Sorry about that, I forgot to add it. ?

[Ship Build]

I am curious as to what elements are needed to build a transport ship, available in atmospheric and space environments. Below is my current checklist and attached is my ship design. I am not looking for someone to give me the best build, but rather what is minimum requirements for a ship like this. We would like to do our own R&D as to what works best for our ship design. I just want to form a checklist of what is absolutely needed for this to work.

 

1	Dynamic Core	S
3	Atmos Engines	M
2	Space Engines	M
2	Space Engines	S
4	Wing Variant	M
1	Landing Gear	S
2	Landing Gear	M
1	Space Fuel Tank	M
1	Atmos Fuel Tank	M
2	Retro-Rocket Break	M
2	Atmos Break	L
2	Adjustor	L
6	Adjustor	M
1	Command Seat

 

I appreciate and look forward to your input! 

 

Thanks,

[The Point of Designing a Cool Ship?]

Yeah, I discussed this with a friend of mine. I feel the game should do a better job at detecting aerodynamics. Its appears it currently only cares about weight and components equipped. I think that there should be other factors for example:// resistance, etc. I just don't think that someone should be able to slap a square of voxels together and fly with it, at least not effectively.

 

If you aren't good at building, then you buy blueprints. Let the creative players do the R&D to create the most effective ships. There is nothing worse than admiring this beautiful game, and a telephone booth flys by....

 

Just my opinion. ?
