Gravity Engine III

Description


The script for the use of gravity generators and artificial masses as an engine

At first - Gravity things don't work inside the natural gravity (on planets) over 0.5g

Updated to 3.5
Оdometer added.

Updated to 3.4
Added Scenario command Goto - goes to an object (uses forward directed cameras for raycast)
Added The Asteroid Base using scan command, to get all asteroids information. You can add the description and do search.

Updated to 3.3
Added support for new LCD.

Updated to 3.21 Hotfix for 1.190.009
Added temporary solution for the Keen bug.

Updated to 3.2
Added Alternative Altitude mode in a Natural Gravity, new scenario commands



In general
  • Maximum speed is 104.38 m/s
  • Dampeners support
  • Gearbox feature
  • Autopilot feature added in 3.0(New)
  • Scenarios (New)
  • Automatic mining, grinding, docking scenario generator
  • Manual and Automatic Power Calibration
  • Autoparking
  • Stable in the natural gravity
  • Two altitude modes for natural gravity - landing/rising and altitude
  • Compass in the natural gravity
  • Operational and Scenario multipanels
  • The Script will allow you to have Gravity Generators for other non-engine purposes
  • The Script has an option to activate the engine at a minimum speed (turned off by default). This helps when you want to move the grid for a short distance by other thrust.
  • Planetary gravity orientation
  • Cargo unloading by mask
  • Easy to setup
  • Low instructions count



Requirements
  • At least one Ship Controller
  • At least one Gyroscope
  • Any number of Artificial Mass
  • Any number of Gravity Generators (not sphere version)
  • Dampeners only works if the grid is present some kind of thruster. (Can be turned off).

It is just a random ship but here is a link, i made an example:

Can you send a link to your world with this fish? I wanna to see it myself.

I guess we do not understand each other. Here is a video about what i am talking about: https://youtu.be/vM9ozDXGD4U
This ship has GDrive, as it shown on video - 0:45 time. And the thing i am talking about is - 1:42 time. As you can see ion trusters are pulling forvard, dampeners are On and it still reaches 104 speed even no matter of turning in any direction 1:56 time.
I made simple ship that is also a have Trusters drive: https://youtu.be/8W8Yv8eneSg
Added to it a simple GDrive and your script - 1:10 time. And as you can see on 2:00 time, it only reaches 100 speed. Then i add manual control of forvard trusters - 2:40 time and on 2:55 i manualy turn off trusters and dumpeners. Only after that i can reach 104 speed.
So the question is: Is it possible to achieve such results as it shown on first video by useing Grav Engine III script, without making manual manupulations shown in second video?

Yeah sure, here is this creation.

I might have some ideas if I could see the ship.

Well... no accounting for taste. Any way I cant do without this thing, because it gives a higher speed limit. Is such thing possible without manual interations with this script? I saw already such combinations of trusters + gdrive but attempts of reproduseing it give no results

If you have a G-Drive why you need to move on H2? You can move on G-Drive only and save the fuel. H2 is required only when gravity is bigger than 0.45.

But my problem is that i cant reach 104 limit. I got GDrive force instaled forward + script, pressing W and reaching 100 with trusters and i cant overcome it.
To get 104 - I have to manualy turn off trusters (forward) + turn off dumpeners and only then i am reaching 104 speed but in this case my ship becomes uncontrolable. Is that how it is supposed to be?

Yes, using the G-engine you will achieve speed regardless of other engines.
