Following on from last Episode we cover basic mining and drill usage. So we can explore further looking for resources we build a small scout ship. -- Watch live at https://www.twitch.tv/malbathla ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-bTRALH_KQ

While playing about in PTU 2.1 and experiencing the problem with blackout/redout with ships that have an internal physics grid, I set about testing a 'feeling' I was getting when flying in my avenger. *1*. I am not a professional developer and I have NO IDEA how CIG are handling the physic grid calculations etc. I am a 'coder' - in that I play around writing software and develop in C++ as a hobby .. see my other videos on 'Trader'. TO ME the results of this video confirmed what I had begun to suspect .. this 'feeling' that the vector and mass calculations tied to the physics grid and ship seem to become out of sync .. almost as if there may be some gimble locking or 'rounding' what cause the calculations to go wildly off. This 'problem' seems to be tied to the rotation calculations (hence the thought of gimble locking) as they can be made better or worse in either direction (black or red out) .. that is to say, the more rotational calculations that are made seem to compound the problem in one or the other direction (clockwise seemed to increase red, anti-clockwise towards black) .. arbitrary rotational angled seemed to greatly increase the problem. Also as the problem got worse, the speed at which the ship could fully change vector decreased a LOT - almost as if the physics were actually increasing the ships mass as the grids became out of sync through the above rotational errors (also compounding). ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpvbL751FVs
