Vilifier Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Just curious if anyone has flown to the edge of this solar system. Does it have an invisible wall? Doe is kill you and you ship disappears? Any video of someone flying to the edge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daphne Jones Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 NQ mentioned that someone flew out a considerable distance in alpha and had to be rescued - beyond all the planets. I wonder if they plan to model all the space between systems. When you get far enough from the origin point coord systems in computers start having huge round-off problems. That's the main reason for limits on level size in most games. I expect each star system will have its own origin point and coord system and they will some how "fake" the space in between. Once you get out to space that would take a year or more to get to in normal flight, there's really no need to model it, because no one will ever be there.

To our knowledge, The DU universe expands forever, being forever empty except on what NQ as placed. Edit: or at least until the coordinate system maxes out its variable. There are rumors that some have found uncharted planets, but in a raw state of development (no ores, just spheres) The star circles the universe from an infinite perspective, not having an actual body, just an infinite plane texture and a light source. So, it does not matter how much you fly, you would never be in the star trajectory. It is unknown if this will change when the next star system is added.

blundertwink Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Unigen2 has a 64-bit coordinate system...so could go pretty darn far before hitting limits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming 0.001meters resolution the universe could expand from -46 116 860 200 SU To 46 116 860 200 SU Taking 35 073 years to reach the "border" (more probably a game crash) at 30000Km/h (max non warp speed) blundertwink 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joaocordeiro Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 But then again, someone will probably find an exploit to get there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
