Just look at the FS1 mainhall. Sparks from the ship are falling down in an arc. Are they wearing magnetic boots too?

Yes, they are indeed.

Anyway, it's space.  Things don't have to be up/down.

It help to design a ship with some sort of convention..you know..decks...floor, roof.

Windows are also structural weakpoints. A true warship would have  as few as possible.

[Getter Robo G]

Yes but windows are cool...

I'm tellin you. Custom made boots to balance mobility and staying on the ground (plus the crew would learn to walk just right) and then seatbelts when they're sitting down.

Perhaps each warship has its own gravity.

This is FS we're talking about.  Yes, that FS with magical beam cannons and inexhaustible pixie dust engines

[colecampbell666]

What about the gas miners. Eh? EH?

[blowfish]

Well, I suppose.  Really only mention of fuel that occured in the entire game.  Was there more than one in the FS2 campaign?

Oh, and I forgot to mention lasers that don't behave at all like lasers and missiles that don't fit inside the fighters that carry them...

[colecampbell666]

I think the only one was the one refueling the Collie.

[Scotty]

You blow up a few in the nebula (SSG Rahu, I always forget it isn't actually a sentry gun), and I think there is one in one of the last couple missions (probably not).

[TrashMan]

Use them sparringly..use them intelligently. Use the Force!

What is magical about beam weapons and fusion engines?

[Commander Zane]

What is magical about beam weapons and fusion engines?

The fact that beam cannons technically would be invisible.

Not if you added something to them. Like how people add stuff to natural gas so you can smell it when there is a leak.

Maybe...but let's not forget you're looking at things trough a fighter's HUD. Many things could be generated to help with situational awareness.

But then you go to external view. What then?

[Commander Zane]

Or turn off the HUD for screenshots.

[TrashMan]

But then you go to external view. What then?

Things continue to get generated?
Cause external view is not game-universe related.

you might as well ask - what happens to the FS universe when I turn off the computer?

That made me smile.

...nobody liked my photo-chop... *pouts*

I luled!

*Photon* beam cannons. But then again, we already have subluminal lasers...

As for fusion engines, there's no such thing. Fusion is for power and blowing stuff up, not propulsion. It might be a souped up ion drive using a fusion reactor to power the thing, but there is no such thing as a fusion engine. And BTW we have yet to invent a sustained (i.e. not an H-bomb) fusion reactor that produces more power than is put into it... I'm not saying it's impossible, but it's going to be well into the future before we have fusion-powered fighters, if we ever do.
