Momentum conservation (Thruster issues)

Currently thrusters are very awkward and feel like an "on/off" switch, you go faster when you press a direction key and almost instantly come to a stop when you give counter thrust or have dampeners active.


This feels bad. So I suggest you add momentum conservation to acceleration and deceleration!

So similarly to SE1, a vessel wouldn't come to a stop as fast depending on it's mass and amount of counter thrust and previous directional momentum.

This way vessels would feel better and more pleasant to fly.

Completely agree. It was an absurd decision to go to a less realistic flight model in SE2, I was hoping they'd improve it, not intentionally make it worse! It's bizzare. It feels so horrible I can't play the game without manually going into the game files to fix it.

I haven't played SE2 yet, only SE1, but I'm following it with interest.


Maybe they'll deliver it later, in a future vertical slice?


Because I get the impression that they want more physics with water. So it doesn't make sense to remove inertial physics from spaceships.
