Re: Resources

Question:

Could a player come up with an entirely new good? I know Josh has talked about some of the procedural generated research trees but does that apply to all goods or just to ships and weapons? Could I say develop a new GMO tomato strain?

Resources

Question: I've read many times on the forum in regards to resources but no one has ever gone into specifics on what sort of resources will be available. So my question is what sort of resources will we have to work with? Will it be only basic chemical elements like metals, gasses (iron, uranium, hel...

Re: High speed travel

Light hours?! The distance between any two successive planets in our solar system is of light minutes, at least from what I know the distance between Mars and Earth is of approximately 20 light minutes. Neptunes orbit is 30 Astronomical Units.. 1 AU ~= 8.5 Light Minutes So neptunes orbit = 30 AU * ...

Re: High speed travel

My opinion is that if ships can travel between planets so easily they must be going at a speed close to that of light. I meant this as being the top or maximum speed that a ship could reach I did not say however that all ships should have the same acceleration. In which case some of the small ships...

Re: High speed travel

Thus a top speed or a maximum speed for all ships would make perfect sense and would be in line with the laws of physics. Would it? The force required to push a ship with a small mass is a lot less to push a larger ship. And then the higher speed you obtain, then that increases the mass of your shi...

Re: High speed travel

The point was that your assumption has no foothold in reality! Space is in no way like a fluid that is just as was said before nothing but a gamey mechanic. Obviously. But the fact of the matter is that Josh has not implemented flight mechanics in a realistic manner, so I'm simply stating the assum...

Re: High speed travel

Hadrianus, the content of whatever post I was replying to has no bearing on the fact that I explicitly pointed out that I was working with the assumption that space behaved like a fluidic medium. Also, electrons have a rear mass of 9.11*10^-31 kg if I recall correctly. And I do recall correctly bec...
