TURBULENT WEATHER DOCKING.....

SHADOW STAR · Post by **SHADOW STAR** » Mon Jul 26, 2010 12:40 pm

O.K. Sierra & Wolf both have the extreme atmoshperic pressure and bad weather. I've had my armor, shielding, and shield boost maxed out and still couldn't seem to land without exploding. Is there some trick to it? And please be direct, don't hint. I work & go to school, so guess work takes more time than I've got.

**************************SPOILER ALERT**********************************

You can only land for a few seconds....and you can get very close to the docking platform but once you dock your in the range of the protective ring similar to the one that protects earth, and hence you will explode on Wolf planet. Sierra I'm not sure of.

Hey guys, thanks for the direct talk. At least now I'm not spending time trying to figure out something that is of little value to me anyway. Still love the game though.

Keep in mind, though, that one of the beacon's in the Legends quest is located on a similarly hostile planet.

Yes, but you do not have to dock to activate the Beacon...LOL....

how quickly the seemingly impossible becomes mundane.

I had really hoped to find a new impossible jump in merc's but I don't think its going to be the case

I wonder if in real time relativity of physics, if jumping was possible, if the jump speed is constant or the time to jump from one point to another is constant or both are constant......?.....

it would depend wether jumping was obtained by either folding space or some way bypasing the laws of physics, if the former where true, the jouney time would be constant, if the latter, the speed would be constant, i'm assuming EL jumping is theoretically based off the latter as your ship appears to accelerate, however, if the former where true there may be a specific speed required to pass through the wormhole created, meaning you have to accelerate to achieve that speed

Jumping from one point in space and time to another point in space and time is bypassing the laws of physics but maybe not of quantum physics/mechanics.
And the results would differ I imagine for the observer and the persons involved in the jump. The observer might see a difference in time elapsed, between disapearance and reapearance relative to the distance jumped, or not. In the case of not it would mean that the jumpers moved at a greater speed relative to the distance.
And the jumpers might not see a difference in time or speed and might be instant.....

what i'm saying is there are two theoretical ways to travel long distances at great speeds, either by exeding the limitation of lightspeed, as in star trek and andromeda ect, or to make the actual distance shorter, by folding space or traveling through an alternate dimension, as in babylon 5 and a few episodes of star trek, each has advantages and disadvantages, and only one may be possible

Maarschalk · Post by **Maarschalk** » Tue Jul 27, 2010 3:21 pm

You mention 3 theoretical ways: 1. Exceeding the speed of light. 2. The folding of space and time. 3. Traveling through an alternate dimension.

They all maybe related. If it is possible to exceed the speed of light you might be at that point folding space and time and/or traveling through an alternate dimension.

I suspect it would be more like traveling through an alternate dimension and is instant......

Evochron engines generate artificial wormholes. Initial acceleration creates a small gravity well that's directed toward a point in space directly in front of the ship, forming a gravitational rift that, subsequently, draws the ship toward the wormhole ... thereby increasing ship's acceleration. The wormhole and ship's engine momentarily become two ends of a unidirectional gravity field, thereby preventing nearby ships from being pulled into the event.

Nice, if only I could have one of those engines in my car. Could go anywhere anytime......LOL....

sothey fold space, like i said...

No, they create an alternate dimension, I know, cause me and myself live their and I'm stuck here.....

no, a worm hole is created by folding space, where the fold mets is each end of the wormhole, thikof a guant peice of ppr, with you standing n one end, what is the hortest way to travel to the other end of the paper?
well a lot of peple would assume you woud just travel in a straight line,but... the shortest way from one ed to the other is to fold the paper over so your curent poition and the other end are touching, then there is no distance to travel, now, is where it gets complicatd, try folding the space nside a sphere

Maarschalk · Post by **Maarschalk** » Tue Jul 27, 2010 4:34 pm

You mean folding of the Space time continuem. You can not fold one without the other...that is if it is possible to fold it at all....it is just a theory.....

:P
