Gravity Drive Manager

-- == DEMO SHIP AVAILABLE HERE == --

This code control your Gravity Drive automatically for you. You will use normal keyboard input WASD. It will also act as an Inertial Dampeners. Just add a bunch of Gravity Generators & Artificial Masses for achieving incredible acceleration. Your poor drifting capability has cost you your last two ship? Throw a couple of Gravity Generator sideway, et Volia! Specially useful for large and heavy warship. They will feel like those small aggressive fighter. Get the extreme maneuverability and high redundancy advantage you need in every fight!


*It's important to note that Gravity Drive is a space thing. Don't count on it if you play too close to planetary body or you could be surprise. ;-)



1) Create a group with the name "GDrive" which contain:
- At least one Seat, Cockpit or Remote.
- At least one Gravity Generator (3 in different axis for full motion).
- At least one Artificial Mass (In the range of the Gravity Generator).

2) Place a program block with this code

3) Buckle up!


*It's important to note that even if Gravity Drive could work as unique source of thrust, it's recommended to place a minimum of thrusters to ensure complete stop and precision maneuvering.

-- == DEMO SHIP AVAILABLE HERE == --

This ship is a random ship from the workshop that have been retrofitted with a GDrive in a couple of minutes.




Special thanks to Whiplash141 and it's VTOL script for laying down the
basement (also most of the walls) of this script.

Make sure to setup the Artificial Masses evently arround the center of mass
of the ship or you will get torque.

You dont need any thrusters to make your ship move but you will need them to
make a smooth stop. In emergency situation, kill the 'dampenerAntiJerk' in order
to achive a jerky kind of stop. It can be usefull after a hard fight!

Spreading of Masses and Gravity Generator through all the ship will give
you a amazing redundancy in combat.

Multiply Masses and Gravity Generator for increase thrust.

In order to reduce power consumption, reduce the range of the Gravity Generators
to the minimum amount needed to have your Artificial Masses inside the gravity feild.

If the drive is too powerfull for the ship, you will experence oscillations at low
speed. Increase the dampenerAntiJerk to a value higher than the speed of your
oscillations will correct the issue.

Fly safe!
