Deadly reentry
Comment about deadly reentry here. Overall balance, feel etc. It will probably need tweaking.

i wouldnt call it deadly reentry because if you have a good design you can survive the reentry

I've noticed a huge difference between entering the atmosphere at 104.4 and 500, so is there a current ideal speed to be trying this feature out with? And will deadly reentry have scaling added, like with drag?

i will do some tests with different types of vehicle (cube, jet and so one)

Adv lift and heat are generated by the total drag. So adjusting your drag multiplier will change this interaction.

has the shape of the vehicle a role in the reentry?
DraygoKorvan  [udvikler] 15. dec. 2015 kl. 15:37 
yes. Your shape has an impact on the drag, which has an impact on everything else. The more surface area in total exposed to the direction of travel the more drag you will have.

it needs to make flames like in rl

Mods cannot spawn particle effects. There is a way for me to do it using a few workarounds but it would be super expensive, and probably kill the games UPS. I might do it at some point and have it toggled off, letting people toggle it on and take the performance hit.

ah

How fast do you need to go for heat to damage your ship approx.? I know it has to do with surface area but since there is no way of looking at drag in game, I think an approx. speed would suffice.

i have the deadly reentry heat in free space 400 km away from any planets with a speed of just 80 meter per second. my acceleration was nearly 5 meter per second with a 32 mio ship.

hrm really, i will have to check. it shouldnt be doing any heat unless you are in atmosphere, did you have any planetary gravity?
flori1994 16. dec. 2015 kl. 23:19 
no only the gravity from the generators
DraygoKorvan  [udvikler] 16. dec. 2015 kl. 23:20 
Wierd.... i wonder if there is some atmosphere with gravity gens..

I am stumped, code wise it should not apply a heat effect unless you were coming out of a planet super hot. Does reloading this game still present the same issue 400km away?

the ship didnt have a atmosphere. its not airtight
