    Since 1.8 Huor is very active in working on the FL Hook Tool - even if it is still in development he is for sure trying hard to fix the problems. As Hook is a major feature for influencing the Gameplay to the best he is working for everyone of you.


    A notification for this would be imO well deserved and would show appreciation for his hard work an investment of his sparetime.


    Please vote yes for his work.

    because from einsteins theroy everything which wants to travel faster than light would become infinite in mass which would need infinite energy. Neutrinos have at least a math detected mass which makes it lets say path-breaking for physical theories and shows that moving faster than light is possible instead of being impossible. Every big discovery ones started small.


    Traveling near light speed would make you also sitting in a "time machine", so - i agree i would not like it too, most of the ppl. i would miss.

    Don't think that they have speed nor even faster then light at the LHC


    They have them mate.

    [...] Researchers on the Opera (Oscillation Project with Emulsion-tRacking Apparatus) experiment recorded the arrival times of ghostly subatomic particles called neutrinos sent from Cern on a 730km journey through the Earth to the Gran Sasso lab.


    The trip would take a beam of light 2.4 milliseconds to complete, but after running the experiment for three years and timing the arrival of 15,000 neutrinos, the scientists discovered that the particles arrived at Gran Sasso sixty billionths of a second earlier, with an error margin of plus or minus 10 billionths of a second.


    The measurement amounts to the neutrinos travelling faster than the speed of light by a fraction of 20 parts per million. Since the speed of light is 299,792,458 metres per second, the neutrinos were evidently travelling at 299,798,454 metres per second. [...]

    Sometimes we will be able to travel that fast - if we do not destroy ourselves or our planet before. And their are far more possibilities than using endless energy to acclerate mass. It´s just a matter of time (much time ;) ).


    The topic is the future of space travel, isn´t it?

    ...because mankind is so bright that we already destroyed most of the needed enviroment we are living in. It´s not the question if we need a new planet somewhen more when.


    Neutrinos are faster than light speed. A good beginning.

    Good thing -> ppl bored of the vanilla FL engine will love it after installing the Mod.
    Bad thing -> how many ppl are bored of the vanilla engine?


    No question, the Mod has much more to offer ofc. but their should be a balance between MP playability, realism and beauty. Why did DA never added more realism?


    Crookey is correct from the physical pov.


    Appart from that i love it to have new ship and flight behaviors i second Inferno.

    How to run the cmd interpreter in admin mode under 7 and vista:


    click the Run button
    put "cmd" (without the quotation marks) into the field search programs/files
    cmd.exe will appear in the list above (DO NOT PRESS ENTER OR START IT!)
    move the mouse to cmd.exe, right click it and choose run as administrator


    if you don´t do so, the interpreter does not have the needed privileges to register files.

    Train (Capship) docking is cool, also with the longer docking sequences (as long as there is no bug), but there is a difference how ppl think about the Game while playing it. Some are just event related (i know many :D). These Guys want to make money afap - best for them would be to just undock and dock again to earn money.


    The others are playing the Game and want to see a most beautifull and realistic enviroment while playing, they do not need many ships or a complete fleet.


    About reality: I am living in a city with a harbor in RL where big and small ships land. The bigger the ship is, the more time it needs to land.


    If i compare this with a giant Train loaded with much cargo, guaranteeing a large profit because of the amount of goods it provides i see nothing wrong if such a Ship needs even much time to moor and if some skilled pilots are able to dock faster, well, they will then, because of their experience, earn some bucks faster than others. Mission accomplished, since they was working hard for their skills.


    Over the years i am playing this Mod, it is becoming more and more realistic, nice and sophisticated were most of the new initiated featured was critizised in the beginning and also often personalised to the creator itself. After some time passed - ppl (especialy new players) didn´t even mentioned but applaused these changes. Also it is notable that if a feature is not well seen over a long time, it was redone.


    My 2 cents regarding this topic is just one word - adapt.
