 Re: Orbit Lands - It's gravitationally delicious! I have a suggestion: could you (TLB) make a version with, say, 4 times the space, with the same planet size? Orbits with be a ton more fun.

Re: Orbit Lands - It's gravitationally delicious! Hahahahahaha... Already did that  Orbit V2 is 4x the size of the original. I guess I could do it again, but it would definitely cause a lot of lag.

Re: Orbit Lands - It's gravitationally delicious! Make it as big as possible without causing lag.

Re: Orbit Lands - It's gravitationally delicious! Err.... different computers lag according to their specs and whether or not Cortex Command decides they like them.... I doubt he'll be able to make it lag free for every or even most computers much bigger...

Re: Orbit Lands - It's gravitationally delicious! Actually, my computer being the piece of crap it is, it already lags.
So I couldn't tell you whether or not it lags on other computers.

Re: Orbit Lands - It's gravitationally delicious! I made the moon easily shot out of orbit simply for the reason that it's fun If you want realism, open Moon.ini and change its mass to a gigantic number.

Re: Orbit Lands - It's gravitationally delicious! But then you have to compensate gravity-wise by decreasing the planets gravity pull, and then where would we be?

Re: Orbit Lands - It's gravitationally delicious! Actually, the gravitational pull applied on the moon shouldn't change at all if you change the weight, as it's applied exactly the same regardless of the moon's weight. I never took that into account in the coding.

Re: Orbit Lands - It's gravitationally delicious! Even if it will result in lots of spacejunk, I want to see this with a skirmish-style invasion. It'll be hilarious to look up and see a rocket fly down to the planet... And get smashed by the moon, sending enemy clone gibs everywhere.

Re: Orbit Lands - It's gravitationally delicious! So uh, I hit the moon with a kinetic.
And then the moon flew through the space station.
And the ground.
Came to rest about 40 pixels from my BRAIN.
Interesting MO glitch, too; it didn't displace 99% of the terrain it went through.

Re: Orbit Lands - It's gravitationally delicious! no deepgroup? when atoms damage terrain they usually end up replacing it with the weakened settlematerial. i wouldnt be suprised if TLB lazily coded the moon

It's a pity the pictures are on another computer, but it's pretty bad. About 1 in ten pixels was displaced, but the vast majority of the ground was there and unmoved or changed in any way.

Re: Orbit Lands - It's gravitationally delicious! well, your kinetics are ♥♥♥♥ heavy. grab the pictures when you can, i'd be interested to see another instance of CC being inane.
