Careby 0 Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 Is there any purpose to adjustors facing forward? Do they keep the ship from drifting forward? Or are they completely useless? Link to post Share on other sites
Megaddd 144 Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 Adjustors only exert torque on a construct, i.e.: making it rotate. The amount that an adjustor applies towards a certain spin direction (axis) is dependant on the strength of the adjustor, and how far it is placed from the center of mass. Placing an adjustor that is looking directly at the center of mass will make it do nothing. Link to post Share on other sites

Or looking away from it, presumably. So I think I can remove any adjustors that don't contribute to pitch, roll, or yaw moments with zero ill effect. That was my initial assumption, but when I see an otherwise well thought out design that has adjustors aligned with center of mass, it makes me wonder what the designer intended.
