so i won't be able to scale the supply on a bonus movement engine? thought it would be a problem. then thought, if they ignore ship size, then naturally there supply usage will only be reletive to there movement bonus not ship size.
well, the main point for the engine is to have an engine that provide's the same movement to all ships, regardless of size.
shouldn't there be brackets? from what i remember from science, there should
F = (G * M1 * M2) / r^2
so, since my gravitic engine idea currently works by generating a gravity field, that would be
F = (G * M1 + GF) / r^2, where GF is gravity field.
so, the additional pull provided by a larger ship would be balanced out by the additional inertia. so same movement for all ships. works.
what i'm not looking forward to is reworking all the supply usages so a baseship uses more supply than an escort.
ok, Jack's managed to confuse me. hey Jack, can you take a look lower in the thread and tell me if you understand my math there? because i'm not sure if i do.
