In reality, there is (almost) no force to reduce speed in space.
It was quite unituitive to me in the beginning that when I boost the spaceship, it works lke a car on earth rather than a spaceship. I’d have liked the spaceship to continue to gain speed when either the boost was applied or you continue to throttle the engine. They could have kept a fuel limit to keep the speed in check.
What are your thoughts on this? Would you have liked this to be more based in reality or prefer the familiar car based speed/acceleration that’s in the game?
Elite Dangerous does. I forget what they’re called, but there’s a toggle keybind that lets you turn the stabilizers or whatever off so that if you throttle up and then cut the throttle you’ll continue moving infinitely in that direction until you turn the stabilizers back on or thrust in a different direction.
It lets you do wildly badass shit like boosting past someone, cutting throttle and stabilizers, spinning around, and blasting them as you fly backwards and they’re still trying to turn around.
