 [SCENE] Space!
As I was fiddling about with some of the settings in the default scenes, I came across this:

Code:
   GlobalAcceleration = Vector
      X = 0
      Y = 40


I immediately thought "Wow! I could reverse gravity! Or remove it! Awesome!" I immediately wondered why nobody else had ever done such a thing. After a bit of thought, I realized reversed gravity would be ridiculous, but a zero-gravity map, like in space or some such, would be awesome. So, I made this.

This is a map. In SPAAAACE!

NOTES:
- The scene is located just above Grasslands 2. I would have put it in SPAAACE, but you cannot select it there for some reason.
- Rockets and Drop Pods work in zero gravity; dropships do not.
- AI's don't like the zero-g. They cannot navigate properly, dropships tend to explode upon spawning, and the AI's themselves tend to flail about uselessly.
- Jetpacks are unreliable, to say the least. Always bring a digger of some sort on every actor you buy, and fire in the opposite direction you wish to move. Weapons with high recoil are not recommended.
- Scene made and tested in .25, so I cannot guarantee that it will work in older versions.

It's only truly space if the pull of gravity makes you always go towards the center of the planet at all times.
DOES YOURS DO THAT?

It looks more like a small asteroid to me, so I would assume that the gravitational pull is significantly less prominent.

Actually, this is kinda old. Just look at Map Pack 3's Space scenes.
Also, I think there is a planet scene with some fancy Lua, Orbit Lands if I remember correctly. TLB made it.

This scene is great when used with the artificial gravity generators that Mehman made. viewtopic.php?f=61&t=19099&hilit=gravity+generators

Zero gravity is really fun, and the repeller works perfect for personal propulsion.

I wish this map could be made taller vertically because its easy to fly outta the map if you can't dampen your inertia fast enough.

Lol I actually made the same kind of scene a few weeks back and here you already posted one. If you want to see how digging in space would look like, play this mod, just make sure you have yourself anchored with a grappling gun. Its really fun if you try fighting and flying by shooting your weapon in the opposite direction you intend to go.
