I have a suggestion: could you (TLB) make a version with, say, 4 times the space, with the same planet size? Orbits with be a ton more fun.

Hahahahahaha...
Already did that :P
Orbit V2 is 4x the size of the original.
I guess I could do it again, but it would definitely cause a lot of lag.

Make it as big as possible without causing lag.

Err.... different computers lag according to their specs and whether or not Cortex Command decides they like them.... I doubt he'll be able to make it lag free for every or even most computers much bigger...

Actually, my computer being the piece of crap it is, it already lags.
So I couldn't tell you whether or not it lags on other computers.

I made the moon easily shot out of orbit simply for the reason that it's fun :P If you want realism, open Moon.ini and change its mass to a gigantic number.

But then you have to compensate gravity-wise by decreasing the planets gravity pull, and then where would we be?

Actually, the gravitational pull applied on the moon shouldn't change at all if you change the weight, as it's applied exactly the same regardless of the moon's weight. I never took that into account in the coding.

Even if it will result in lots of spacejunk, I want to see this with a skirmish-style invasion. It'll be hilarious to look up and see a rocket fly down to the planet... And get smashed by the moon, sending enemy clone gibs everywhere.

So uh, I hit the moon with a kinetic.

And then the moon flew through the space station.

And the ground.

Came to rest about 40 pixels from my BRAIN.

Interesting MO glitch, too; it didn't displace 99% of the terrain it went through.

no deepgroup? when atoms damage terrain they usually end up replacing it with the weakened settlematerial. i wouldnt be suprised if TLB lazily coded the moon :P

No, I mean, this was full on phasing.

It's a pity the pictures are on another computer, but it's pretty bad. About 1 in ten pixels was displaced, but the vast majority of the ground was there and unmoved or changed in any way.

well, your kinetics are ♥♥♥♥ heavy. :P
grab the pictures when you can, i'd be interested to see another instance of CC being inane.
