Starship Simulator Devlog #2

In our second dev video for Starship Simulator, we take a look at how the ship is being constructed and compare it to real-world analogies.

This is bonkers and I love it. In time it could be the perfect space nerd co-op

[@ThomasGrillo]

How'd I miss this? This is really amazing! You're building this ship in much the same way the Titanic is being built by the devs for Titanic: Honor and Glory, Demo and Project 401. This is absolutely impressive. I had no idea there is actual stuff going on between the walls and bulkheads! Thanks for sharing this, and looking forward to future updates. :)

I tried the demo and it was amazing. This game has so much potential and I love it already

if there ever will be combat, Ill finally be able to live out my mental excercises of how a ship would react to having various components damaged within the hull.
Even without combat, this amount of detail is going to make for a believeable ship.

[@StarshipSimulator]

One of the future single-player DLC will be combat based.

@@StarshipSimulator nice.

[@CaspCic]

I just hope, its 'like StarTrek, but not StarTrek' - enough.. to prevent any court proceedings...

[@mrseller8885]

Really interesting project, can't wait for it

[@bigdogboos1]

side note question for sci-fi geeks ... how would we go about dealing with gravity and inertia? I mean in real space, any little movement has tons of reactions to all things in the ship not tied down. Also, even turning around makes massive velocity changes, so how would people be protected from this ... and how would you simulate the perpetual downward gravity feel like on the enterprise etc?

[@StarshipSimulator]

Gravity is created on the ship using similar technology to that of the Alcubierre drive. Energy and matter are interchangeable at a quantum scale, so with enough energy you can create a mass-field sufficient to achieve 1G of gravitational pull. To counteract inertia, the field can be angled to oppose the direction of thrust, although only up to a certain point.

Wow I didn't realize what a madman you are! Will we ever get to see these ships being built somewhere in game? Will you create more ships with the same framework? You need to take a chunk of my salary.

[@ROXIKK]

I wanna land on planets

Why is this only just hitting my feed now.
