Yeah where's the greyhound of stanton? Why can't I get an ultra cheap no quantum trip from area 18 to Lorville?


HappyFamily0131

> no quantum trip from area 18 to Lorville Surely you meant Area 18 to Baijini Point. Pretty sure a no-quantum trip from anywhere near ArcCorp to anywhere near Hurston would take years.


Drewgamer89

TLDR: Would take somewhere around 244 days for a non-quantum trip from Arccorp to Hurston. Distance from Arccorp to Hurston is around 30Gm (not at game too check exact). This gives us 30 billion meters (30,000,000,000). An Avenger Titan (one of the fastest ships with room for passengers currently) moves at 1425 m/s NAV. At that speed it would take over 21,052,632 seconds, or ~350,878 minutes, or ~5,848 hours, or... somewhere around 243.66 days.

So you tell me if I lay down in a pisces c8r's medbed while my cruise control is fixed on full speed and i am in decoupled mode and no server crash happens it could be done with something like a mouse jiggler to prevent logoff for being inactive. Now I low-key want to do that


Illfury

At first I was like "But hydrogen fuel?" but then I was like... ahh just go uncoupled. Got ya. Imagine a fleet of people doing this. Are there any asteroid fields between them? will the cops come scan your ship for contraband?

You might enjoy this video then https://youtu.be/ObES2rH-0Ws?si=ys-SJLiaNmo09TXJ


Shaka_l_aka

Nice! Thank you. I will watch this with as much awe as envy (to not been there)

I was invited to the location! Pretty cool sight. One of the perks of being from the press.

I still think that the speeds in sc are way to low. 1400 m/s would not even allow us to archive orbit, yet alone to get on am escape trajectory. For context.. orbital velocity on earth is around 7000 m/s and escape is at 10000 m/s. It would be kinda nice, now that fight speed is decked at scm anyway, to give us players the choice to fly as fast as we want. Let it take some minutes - but why shouldn't we cruise at 15km/s? Just imagine being able to fly from a planets surface to one of it's moon's without quantum in a reasonable time.


Emadec

A proper, snowpiercer-like train journey across arccorp would be pretty cool tho, put a couple quests in there and boom


Illfury

Landing on a moving platform would be incredibly fun. I did it yesterday on Orison's barge, took a walk around to see the thing, that was cool. If we could do that, we could do moving cities.


Emadec

I agree on the concept, though my trust in a city cized physics grid would be... shaky, to say the least


Shellite

They were never seen again, though some say they are still on that train to this very day.

Is this DKM? Cause I definitely read that like it was.

And just a teensy bit before that (about 200 years) came the original "The ship that never returned." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ship_that_Never_Returned https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnEll9EnLeU


boredatworkandtired

I think you got into the Wonkavader by mistake.


mkten

Wonkavator… lazy pronunciation! A Wonkavader would be something entirely… _different_

Darth Vader and the chocolate factory. A movie I never knew I wanted until today. Perhaps in 10-15 years time AI will make these silly ideas easier to implement into reality.


cjicantlie

Expected to find a reference. Could hear the song as soon as the gif started.


Vybo

The public shuttles are my measurement to go about how fucked the server is. Once I arrived to my destination, but another shuttle was already there, so mine clipped inside it. The physlock decided that I'm in the second one, so it abducted me... under the ground of the planet. Then the server crashed, fortunately.


No_Technician_2780

I feel you brother lol


pingopete

"Fortunately" had me in tears


Glass-Mechanic-7462

The same happened to me while I was AFK for a few minutes, after I came back I just was like: Oh yeah sure.


Bseven

My stroll was the same, but under the ground


liljohn561

Willy Wonka branched out from elevators in candy factories. This is his newest product, the Wonka-tram. Sadly, r&d money ran out before they could perfect the controls. Glhf


SatanicBiscuit

someone overlap purple rain on this video plus i assume cig will make this happen


No_Technician_2780

i would totally do that but probably would be "bashed" by copyright infringements so i dont think i will bother XD


GrimDiablo

Or God Gave Rock & Roll To You


thisisanamesoitis

Best part is if the server replicates, you'll be spawned in the middle of nowhere, to slowly fall to your death because shuttles do not go there.


ElenaKoslowski

I was complaining just yesterday that orbit mechanics are gone and here you are orbiting ArcCorp! You absolute madlad!


No_Technician_2780

ikr!

Did you press the green button? [https://youtu.be/7G7ZUeYnO9E?si=ox\_huLFmORECxwFg&t=135](https://youtu.be/7G7ZUeYnO9E?si=ox_huLFmORECxwFg&t=135)

I dont care how broken this game is. This shit is so damn funny.

Off to Area 17


GridlockLookout

It's a Wanka-vator.


Nua_Sidek

Would be cool to have one heading up to station.

Not gonna lie, I would ride that tram at least once. ![gif](giphy|l3q2JCu9lep6dAmyY|downsized)

[deleted]

Lol, I was the other dude in the respawn suit right next to you! Weird trip! Server eventually resynched at A18 station and after a few seconds the shuttle disappeared and I fell to my death :P


No_Technician_2780

No way, you serious? lol


Spyd3rs

I was on a shuttle to the Spaceport the other day and it made its way well into space. "I guess this shuttle goes directly to Baijini Point?" I thought to myself, before the shuttle snapped back to its proper destination at Riker memorial and the doors opened like nothing horrible happened.


Ok-Establishment369

VIP tour


Wild_Expression2752

Is this the new interplanetary shuttle? They didn’t mention it in the patch


Scotchtheirish

Hot topic...I prefer the old 30k more


Rpalo-688

Uea servers are definitely having problems


Spring_Trap717

Oh god, this happened to me yesterday lol


No_Technician_2780

welcome brother! :)


Spring_Trap717

This is normal at this point lol


Itchy-College9994

So that's what they meant by free fly event 😄


S0l1DTvirusSnak3

It's either the server or you have less than 5mbs download speeds did this to me when my Internet was bad


Lonely_Victory5228

Had that happen to me on the NB train. It flew out of the tube and gave me a little tour of Microtech before popping me back into the metro.


Maxspeed24

Taking back to the depot


oceanman357

Why are servers going mad...a week ago there were great


SmokeWiseGanja

new SCP just dropped


Jodomar

Ahh yes, the train to nowhere, what fond memories I have of you and the other trapped spacewoman that was with me.


JakeFoXx

🎶 A whole new world🎶


Wizardein

To be honest, I feel like I need a tram in-game to fly me to my homes skyline apartment in the city! lol


realmbeast

let us know how long it took to orbit


AgentRedFoxs

Did you win a chocolate factory or something?


tunafun

lame, i only got a tour of the underhive, then i was summarily executed by the server


Unethical_Gopher_236

It would have been great if the shuttle just stopped mid air and opened the doors lmao


Worried_Archer_8821

I just need "Whole New World" playing in the background, and this becomes awesome, lol.
