Stratennotblitz Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 per example, a ship accidentally jumps into a wormhole and the whole server accelerates unexpectedly etc, those events would be randomly generated and not exploited by players.

This could be a real PITA. Just imagine your decade long voyage to exlpore a new star system and 'poooofffff' your ship randomly zooms off to somewhere else. No thanks - not for me anyway.

They also said with that traveling will be rocket based. So along with that, we won't see other things like Solar Sails in stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K^2 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Eh. That's what mods are for. Ten internet points from my personal reserves to anyone who manages to implement realistic wormhole rendering in KSP2 mod, such as example shown by Scott Manley in the 360 Wormhole video.

Lots of tricky math and good programming exercise, but very doable. Of course, if you want to be able to render a ship in transit, there is an additional challenge, since you can't just do an honest ray tracing of it. You'd have to utilize screen space information in a clever way. It won't be perfect, and you'll definitely have some distortions and smudges on the ship, but if it goes through quickly enough it should look ok. (If anyone is familiar with rendering screen space reflections - yeah, basically same problem.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm perfectly capable of creating my own 'unforseen circumstances' without help from a random die-roll. Now IF the game had ways to detect and warn of said events. Therefore giving players a chance and option to avoid or deal with them, then that becomes 'gameplay' which I would be ok with (but a little sceptical) if it was implemented well enough.
