Why do we bank when we turn anyway? What is it we're banking against? Space air?

There is no up in space. But that breaks our perspective...

There is an up from the space ship, but in space there is no up because you are not referring to a direction based on an object. _________________ SerjicalStrike wrote: Peter Pan had a child army and you didn't complain about him.

Banking in space is stupid.
But it looks pretty, and because we can. _________________ Jey123456 wrote: That will happen in a future closer than most futures. No Context. Idaten. bageese wrote: We've been against saying any solid dates until we know for sure when something is coming in. |

It is stupid, and therefore annoys the hell out of me.

I think pre-alpha we tried it w/o banking. For whatever reason in the 3d environment it was harder to pilot without it.

Perhaps scale it with the size/mass/weight of ships? It seems a bit odd for my dreadnought to bank, but perfectly fine for my panther.
Ever seen a Kirov-class battlecruiser bank into (exercise) attacking an enemy fleet? None have. They're 28,000 Tons; the heaviest surface combat ships still in service. Would be ridiculous to expect they and other capital ships to handle like a fighter plane. |
