I had to take a break from studying, so naturally, I decided to mess around with some 1.8 parts. I tried to see if I could find an alternate way to produce thrust (that was spaceworthy), but I ultimately failed in that process. However, I did find something that is... gif-worthy:
When flares that are held by a magnet de-spawn, they make their host aircraft come to a complete stop. Pretty cool, but I don't really have a use for it.
I just wanted to share a little gif, so thanks for reading! Oh, and don't worry - I'll release the Nomad's Proclamation sometime. I just gotta write the description, which I plan to do on a flight that I have to catch in a few days.
@BACconcordepilot Interesting. I’ll give it a try.
floating platform
@Stormfur They do the trick pretty well. They also work in space, too, which is very convenient.
Talk about air brakes
Ultra carrier brakes.
@TitanIncorporated never thought of using flares in this way lol.
@belugasub Ha, I gotta avoid over-studying though!
@spefyjerboooh good idea
Get back to studying right now
@randomusername Awesome. I might look into that! I would have to streamline the concept a lot though.
Edit: of course, I will give credit where it is due!
@randomusername Awesome. If you don't mind me asking, what parts does it use? I still haven't been able to find one.
@Minecraftpoweer The physics get confused when it happens. I originally did this to try to "catch" the momentum of the flares to propel my aircraft, but this happened instead. It made for a fun gif though!
Ooh cool, I only knew they could be attached to magnets, I didn't test on an Aircraft so I guess that explains the stop in midair for no reason at all thing.
