Build: 1.7 3632 Mode: Creative / Survival Mode: Single Player / Multi Player Reproducibility: Always Severity: Minor Type: Thruster Torque Summary: With certain asymmetrical thruster layouts you can see an order-of-magnitude difference in torque on all axes depending on which side the thrusters are placed Description: This is a bit of an odd one but might indicate a larger problem, especially when making asymmetrical builds. I set out to make a minimalist micro CV that uses only 6 small thrusters, with the thrusters on each axis placed as far to the outside corners of the build as possible to maximize torque so I don't require an RCS. However, if the forward/backward and up/down thrusters are not placed on the same side of the build you see a 10x drop in torque generation on all axes. As I understand it the only torque generation difference should be due to a slight center-of-mass shift, but this seems extreme for a minor 2-ton weight shift on a 60 ton build. Steps to Reproduce: 1) Load the two attached EPBs in any scenario. These two ships are identical except for the placement of the blue forward/backward thrusters. 2) Examine the torque statistics of Test A. Turn values should be around 150 deg/s on each axis. 3) Examine the torque statistics of Test B. Turn values should be around 12 deg/s on each axis.
