[TESTREQUEST] Jolt Physics

Post by DocAce » Tue, 17. Jan 23, 13:14
General Information
With 6.00 we are introducing Jolt, a new physics system that will impact gameplay in a significant way. Jolt impacts Collision Detection, Raycasts (Bullets, Lens Flares, and more), Station Generation and also First Person Movement. Since this is a major change we would like players to report their experience related to Jolt and ask to write feedback and report issues in this topic.

To avoid this topic to get unreadable we ask that you avoid debates or general discussions about the feature and limit the postings to feedback and bug reports.


Test Information:

Collision avoidance and object impact, clipping through objects should not be possible.
Pathing by both NPC and Autopilot. Also by player when setting "collision avoidance" is set to on.
Feedback on station building both by players and NPCs.
Feedback when walking around on ships, stations and also performing space walks in space suit.
General feedback on gameplay impact or lack thereof.
Since many stories also include special locations would be good to get feedback on them too.


Reported:
Collision depth not correct Teladi L biome (signal leaks cannot be scanned)


Known Issues (6.00 Beta 1):

Some characters have incomplete collision bodies and can not be selected by pointing at certain limbs
NPCs walking up ladder of Kukri jump in position halfway through animation
Hitting small asteroids with bullets gives them excessive spin
Collision damage is too low
Certain large stations may have elements that lack collision - mostly surface elements like turrets, but possibly even modules
Space suits collide too easily in very narrow spaces like airlocks
Entering the space suit from a smaller ship while in relative movement with a capital ship can stop player controls for too long
Collisions with fast moving ships have an exaggerated effect
Ships sometimes have problems reaching docks on capital ships
Paranid player characters have issues walking in narrow spaces like ship cockpits - crouching helps
M Ships have not been Jolted yet and as such can have issues.


Thank you for your time and feedback, its much appreciated.

You need to install them at your own XL shipyard or maintenance facility. This is where you use the blueprints you find for the Erlking. None of the NPC factions have the blueprint for the Erlking equipment so they cannot help you.

Due to the cost of XL shipyard or maintenance modules, this means the Erlking is a late game option for the player. It is recommended to focus on upgrading your economy first so you can upgrade the Erlking.

Szerintem plutónium üzemanyagcellát csinálnak belőle és bedarálják jó sok kupponért :) (elég macerás!)

Gyakorlatilag azt lehet mondani, hogy minden faj/nemzet/szervezet felhasznál téged a másik ellen. Pl.nemrég lenyomtam a Hatikvah-t, ugyan már +30-as voltam velük, de miután megmentettem a Yaki-t, további lehetőségek jöttek, így belevágtam. Azok pl felhasználtak az Scale Plate Pact ellen, a Terran az Argon ellen akar, az Argon az ANT ellen, a Split a különböző Split családok ellen, a Paranid dettó, belevágtam a kalózos küldetésekbe is...hál' istennek eddig mindig úgy jöttem ki a végén, hogy nem utált meg senki.
