Kasumi GotoYou could ask the same question of how an Anaconda with a - supposedly - lighter hull and identical thrusters still has the same speed as a Corvette in a straight line. Whatever logic those things operate on, I’m not sure how much mass has to do with it. Not too much when it comes to the top limit, anyway…
In the case of the Anaconda you can be sure that 400 t is a typo, it's the weight of an Imperial Clipper...
Physics applies when it comes to flight envelops (they have to use something as a basis), you can see this when you engineer your thrusters, at a certain point, the drift becomes more and this is due to the level of inertia included in the computing of the flight envelop. It works with mass and acceleration.
I noticed this with my Corvette, even more since I decided to give her a weight diet, took the Fuel scoop off, mounted a 3C FUEL TANK and a 3D FRAME SHIFT DRIVE.
The weight saving seems to work a lot more on heavier ships or at least performance gains seems to be higher than for example on my Krait MK II, same thing happens when I optimized both the Python and the Krait MK II.
I have to say that Space-based game developers have it comparatively easy compared to DCS module developers due to the amount of work involved.
Aircrafts are submitted to aerodynamic constraints and to get a flight envelop anywhere near to realistic involves fluid simulation with a water-tight models (water tight means that the CAD design have to be made to industrial standard instead of game standard, that's hundredth of mm instead of tenth).
Some module developers teams are more successful than others, for example, the Mirage 2000C module is so accurate it is used by the French Air Force at Squadron Level. https://moovely.fr/larmee-de-lair-francaise-sequipe-de-dsc-world-mirage-2000/
For having worked in the 3D Industry and done some limited fluid simulation myself using CATIA and FLUENT (simple F-100 Super Sabre wing simulation), I can tell you that a whole Mach 2 Aircraft demands a LOT of work.

MeowersRayman.Now give us fricking python mk2 already pls.
And I'll keep calling it Pee Mk2 until it becomes a trend. :p
Job done :-)

Looks like it, this thing is selling like cookies...

This is an old video I published for the purpose of explaining the loop, I just scored 93 Military Grade Alloys in the Ross 342 System.

Also: the video does rub it in that EDDB is no more

Sampi OgonekGood to know this signal source relog trick still works. (It’s been some time since I really had to farm materials that way.)

Yeah it works well, I wish we could farm Raw Material this way...

Maybe also needs to have it in stock but idk. Not giving out money for this and likely won’t buy it when it becomes available for us plebs with credits.

Shg56Does anybody know how exactly re-buy work for pre-built ships. I read FD posting that you will be getting your pre-built ship back for free after the loss but it is not clear about the cost of your modules you installed. Do you have to pay their actual price or you will be paying the cost of insurance for those modules? Thanks
You pay the insurance price. I don't think, though, you pay anything extra for the original modules that you engineer. I died after engineering the FSD and the rebuy was free.

So, if I understood you correctly you engineered stock modules which came with the ship, and you got them back also for free fully engineered after the loss, right?

Providing your credit is equal/superior to that of your ship rebuy insurance cost, it should cover the more expansive modules you have equipped her with.
I see no reason for it to be different for Pre-Built ships...

I don't know if it's one of those Server thing or if they nerfed the Robigo run, but I have to log out and in again several times to fill up a 7 cabins ship, I have one third of the number of available customers I had two days ago...

I need help: I have a bounty on my head from a faction that has no stations or harbors or settlements with landing pads. As soon as I approach a settlement of the faction, I receive a warning for trespassing. How can I get rid of the bounty ...apart from having myself killed
