another request that's gonna be ignored, but still:
that's a thing that would make some people's life easier:
with that tag, the object can't move at all, space coordinates would be fixed. that way you can do any pof, and it won't move a single pixel left even if a sathanas were to ram it.
voila, that would be useful.

That would indeed be useful.

BUT. If a sath did ram it, what would happen to the sath? would it just bounce off, or pass through it as though nothing happened?

I think this feature would simulate an infinite (or really, really high) mass. So, the Sath would probably come to a dead stop. If it was moving fast enough it might bounce off slightly.

her, bounce off, obviously. I believe there's already a tag if you want something to let other ships go through a pof?

so if you put this flag on a Uly, and a sath hit it, the sath would bounce off.

What is this Uly made of?

Meh, that's if you give Jeep the design contract.

Well, pre-Chrysler Jeep...

just out of curiosity, what would this tag be used for?
besides the tough-as-nails Super Uly

(any ideas in particular?)

If your Sathanas was entering/exiting sub-space when it hit an immovable object, it'd bounce hella far.

Try warping a Gany ring into an unmoveable object.

space stations, large asteroids, landscapes, mostly.

this has been on my list

couldn't you could just make the pof mass really large?

Petrarch of the VBB · **Reply #14 on:** May 11, 2003, 03:58:35 am

Probably, but it still might move slightly.

Grey Wolf · **Reply #15 on:** May 11, 2003, 12:22:09 pm

Wasn't there a problem with flying too close to really high mass objects?

Petrarch of the VBB · **Reply #16 on:** May 11, 2003, 12:31:27 pm

Not that I know of, but if you called something "Planet whatever" you would burn up if you flew too close.
