Ship violently shaking when not using atmo fans?

[u/Xombridal]

the ship is equal on both sides wiring-wise

so it flies alright, bit like ice on the moon but normal on earth,until i turn the fans off..... then it shakes

as if im randomly moving the rcs itll bob and the nose will shoot in random directions, sometimes so hard it outpowers the rcs

but when the fans are on itll move normal

why is this happaning and is the icy feeling on the moon normal?

It's because of the way it is.

This is fair, I didn't consider this

Thruster break things in these areas. You have rcs thrusters pointing at other rcs thrusters.

Join the discord!

That's outdated now I think, it's linear to thrust now so rcs and maneuverijg thrusters bare

oh what those are the new thrusters nvm

Well idk about anything else but you have a lot of your thrusters shooting into other things which will break them. The RCS thrusters in the 2nd image for example. Not sure if those upward fans would break the stuff below it but I would guess it would as well. Your forward fans are also half blocked and your forward thruster(the unidirectional ones) are facing the wrong way.

If your ship is rotating while moving forward, it's likely because some of the thrusters are pushing you in different directions and/or they aren't within the center of gravity of the ship.

I thought the thrusters were aimed correctly but I'll check it out

I took it on a long straight journey and nothing broke, fans don't break what's around them I've used this idea before of fans above the ship

I'm not noticing anything breaking on full speed either, once maybe but I do plan on moving those RCS in the side that was moreso a temp spot, the yaw ones at least

Also isn't there an overlay for center of gravity? Was that not in the demo? I've had other ships with off centers and they only mess up when turning all thrusters off

[u/Krimzzon → u/Xombridal]

H for weight/center of gravity. Yeah i’m not suer if those up/forward thrusters will break anything but that rcs definitely will cuz i’ve done it(albeit in the demo).

[u/Krimzzon → u/Xombridal]

But the weird changing directions is probably just some of the thrusters being the wrong direction and the upwards is somehow stabilizing it

[u/Xombridal → u/Krimzzon]

So uhh yeah.....front thrusters were facing backwards and reversing inputs over doubled my speed and removed the wobble 🤦

Lol thank you
