Re: [GZG] [OFFICIAL] Question to you all.....




From: "Laserlight" <laserlight@xxxxxxxxxxx>

The point of this discussion is how Jon should change the vector rules
such that ships designed for Cinematic will also be viable in Vector.

Problem is, that's not really possible- if what you're looking for in Vector is a more "realistic" movement system. If you restrict rotations in vector to retain the viability of multiple arc weapons, you're trading realism. You have the increased realism of (more) newtonian motion, but a decreased realism in how ships can rotate in free space.
