Is there a way to swap into a turret without having to actually get out and shove yourself into the turret's control core?
Also, is it just me or does the orientation of the SD Cockpit block do absolutely nothing? I wanted a rear-facing parking camera, dammit!
Not that I've found so far, but you can do the opposite thing. From any docked ship or turret, press the up arrow key and you will teleport to the mothership's core.
SD cockpit cameras always only face forward. However, weapon consoles' orientations are respected for their cameras, and they even fire attached guns in the direction that the computer is oriented. Could be useful.
Ok, long post, long counterpost.
A 1000x1x1 generator with the correct equation: 1,003,486 e/sec.
With that equation: 4,960,128.3 e/sec.
But it was obvious it was wrong without doing the math.
First, the last thing, I don't know how you are using that equation but it gives 2.3 million with a 1000 stick, not 4.96 million.
114.8*(((1000+1+1)^1.7030)/3) + 25*(1000) + 1Second, now you posted another equation, that is VASTLY different from the previous one: "((xdim+ydim+zdim)/z)^1.7" which gave totally wrong values, like giving about 3 e/s for a single powercore.
I am now drudging through the confusing notations.... I can't figure out how it's supposed to be typed out.
Could you type it out in either a program that can show equation, or could you type it out with words?
And what does "sum" mean in this context?
And why so many parenthesise!!!
I've tried typing it in several times but keep getting imaginary results.
I've tried working out the official equation, but it too is written in a strange notation.
1. There was never a /z.
2. It's not "another equation, that is VASTLY different," it is identical to the first one I posted except with a couple constants changed to make the results 100% accurate. And then what I last posted was improved to work with lists, etc. Science marches on.
And what does "sum" mean in this context?
I passed in a list of all the power networks I had, basically. dim gets the length of the list. Operations carried out on the list by the TI-89 are carried out on all members of the list, unless using a function that specifically is designed for lists. sum sums the values of all the elements in the list.
And why so many parenthesise!!!
...
*facepalm*
So that, you know, things aren't done to the wrong thing.
Here, you wanted pretty equations:
I had to use an online latex equation editor (UGH, it's not automagic! TI-89 makes pretty equations automagically!) to make these.
(Dear latex: Why do you have to make it non-clear what is where as far as exponents go?
I fed it (\frac{1}{1+(1.000696)^{\sum((xyzDimList/3)^{1.7})*.333}}-.5)*2000000+25*(\sum(xyzDimList)-2*dim(xyzDimList)+nonOptimalPowerBlocks)
xyzDimList is a set or list containing the xDimension+xDimension+zDimension values for each power generator network, and dim means length of list. (I could have written |xyzDimList| for cardinality but I didn't know if you'd get confused by it)
If you want, I could rewrite it in reverse polish notation, getting rid of all those pesky parentheses... }:P
