now theres an interesting dillema

"If im phased and can walk through stuff, then why am I not falling through the floor?"

No takers?

Try replacing the values you entered by these :
mass = 100000.000000
steering_torque = 600000, 600000, 600000
angular_drag = 2600000, 2600000, 2600000
rotation_inertia = 240000, 240000, 240000
nudge_force = 300000.000000
strafe_force = 750000

Don't thank me, thank Chips. These are his values of a Battleship. Should make it not spinning too much. If it doesn't work, try playing with nudge_force and rotation_intertia until it works.

Hope this helps

The mass line there is the one you want, the others tell the BS how fast it can turn and strafe side to side.

Thx guys much appreciated, will give it a shot.

Don't thank me, thank Lord Fjord - it was he who stated that "we cannot stop the problem of the spinneth battleship, yet if ye changeth the value of the rotational inertia, then thee laws of pysic changeth too!"

It go from:
"A battleship who spinneth, will stay in spinneth, unless acted on by an opposite force to stoppeth it"

to

"A battleship who spinneth doth stop nearly immediately"

Pretty simple stuff, although there IS a lower end point to that, if you lower it too much then it goes all haywire once more

As for mass, it seems to make no real difference except make ships fly slower, take longer to stop, and longer to start. Whilst this maybe desirable, it also causes docking problems

You sure about that acceleration is the only thing mass effects Chips? I know I have used that to great effect with the flight physics changes I created for the Hunters Mk II MOD, but I thought I saw it also effecting how much a ship was affected by all impacts (asteroids and other ships). Of course you have been at it longer and I might have been changing multiple things at one to get the effect I was after.
