When turning the ship, which one is faster?
GeoRmr:
It should be noted that reverse throttle speeds are 50% slower than forward throttle speeds. And the reversing engine during a neutral turn is also producing half the thrust of the forward output engine.
CheeseAlmighty:
Alright, got it, thanks everyone! :3
And may your gruyere be hot, and roquefort blue. <3
Tanya Phenole:
Aw, roquefort looks wonderful <3
Goldenglade:
You're not taking in forward momentum forward....
Have you even seen that 3 hour movie the titanic. It's a basic principle but cycling the engines from forward to back actually does make you turn faster....
However from a neutral position yes It's easier to get your archs in while the engines are neutral
Mattilald Anguisad:
I don't have numbers but by going by missisipi one, missisipi two...missisipi twenty menthod of counting time, same 360° turn tuned to take to 20 on a stock junker (within measurement error) no mater if it was full foward, full reverse or neutral throttle position. No I did not have a stop watch to accurately measure time.
The reason why you put ship in full reverse when enemy is passing you, is to more easily keep arc or get back into arc faster (you don't have to do a 180° turn when reversing). going full foward you are ruaranteed to lose arc of enemy passing by you. Putting throttle in full reverse is also to make tighter turns (especialy if you were going full foward previously) If you were stacionary you generaly don't need to put in reverse when turning).
