Star Ruler lets you make ships as big as you want, and their guns scale up with them. As the scale and tech levels increase you tend to go from "A-10 in space" to "Oops, I didn't mean to blow up that planet". The visuals and sounds the scale too, but not as well as seeing the suffices for numbers go from "k" to "M" to "G".

Unturned

Managed to get the Accident Prone achievement (10 deaths)

I drowned.
Drowning in Unturned requires about the same level of carelessness as drowning in Half Life 2.

So yeah, I'm definitely accident prone.

That's more than 10% of the IRL yearly global production of the stuff.

Why do you need that much uranium in space? What's that space station going to do?

One trick when you're intercepting after getting close (20km-ish) but before you start docking (500m-ish) is to not quite point straight at you target as you burn. That way if you overshoot nothing explodes.

This also lets you safely get closer using your main engines (assuming you can flip around in time) than you otherwise could.

Made a neat SSTO with a cubic octagonal strut between the nervas and the rapiers so they can both work at the same time but are lined up. managed to get it to orbit without overheating anything on its first flight.

You may want to use plane old turbojet (not ramjet) engines to climb to 10km. They're extremely efficient compared to the other jet engines.

Well, either way the game is more or less running in the background if you close it. It just figures out how much time passed since you last saved and works out how much money you'd have if you kept playing without upgrading.
But then you won't be able to grind kills for the DPS bonus achievements.

In related news, did you know that killing a boss raises your boss kills counter and your monster kills counter? It's too bad that the boss kills achievement only goes to 100k though.

I notice the second picture is producing more thrust, would this increase the heat output?
The Rapier's heat output seems pretty negligible. The only time I've had one overheat is from this mad contraption.



It's a slightly crazier version of the one I posted here. The new drag model makes only the drag of the frontmost object count if a they're connected node to node. There seems to be some addition based on total number of parts but it's still far less drag than it would have.

Both Rapiers can run simultaneously because of the cubic octagonal strut betweem them but the lower one overheats at around 500m/s. For some reason this method lets it get a higher top speed than a single engine would.

I broke Mach 6 with an air breather.

I think you also need to take into account how much heat the part itself actually puts out, is your ramjet intake attached to the same engine at the same throttle and altitude as the pre-cooler was?
Throttle, altitude, speed, and part connected to were the same. Ram intake just can't handle speed as well as Pre-Cooler intake. The Engine Nacelle intake seems to work about as well as the Pre-Cooler intake too.

EDIT:1690m/s horizontal speed in atmosphere.

Is it harder to make SSTOs with the new model?

Air breating engines seem to have been nerfed hard. Previously the Turbojet could go 2200m/s at 60km pretty easily but now it seems to only be able to do 1400m/s at 20km. The Rapier didn't get hit as badly and looks like it can do 1700m/s at 25km.

Throttle now takes into account your intake air so you can no longer flame out from having the throttle fully open.

A big part of the problem seems to be that the space plane parts can't stand up to the heat stress of being a space plane. Another is that whether or not something burns up makes no sense. I keep having a Mk2 Cockpit burn up while accelerating but the Mk2 Drone Core behind it is fine despite the plane moving faster than before and it being a flat surface and having the same Max Temperature.

EDIT: Pre-Cooler intake can survive going 1660m/s under 10km. but Ram intake cannot. Ram intake has its max temperature listed as 100 degrees higher than the Pre-Cooler. Looks like space plane construction has gotten very trial and error.

All tanks in a stage drain at once instead of top to bottom. This makes the center of mass move less during flight than it used to.

If there are any remaining keys floating about, I'd appreciate one.
Same here, otherwise ignore me.
Sent to both of you

I give up, .25 eva are too bugged to play hardmode.
This may help with that.
