so drag would probably have to be some constant between 0 and 1 multiplied by the previous velocity, which the drag would then be subtracted from the acceleration, and the power from the engine (if any) would be added to the acceleration, which, along a horizontal path, a max velocity based on the power of the engine could be calculated.
so, v= c+a
a=(some constant)*(-sin%)-drag+engine
drag=(another constant)*c
c is the previous velocity
(-sin%) is the opposite of the sin of the angle, negative because a -30 degree angle is pointing downward, and would result in a negative sin value.
Max velocity would be when drag and engine are equal. (along a horizontal path)
If steamcraft were not to be implemented, I'd also be happy with this. :happy.gif:

Wrong sir, wrong. YOU stole the fizzy lifting drinks and YOU touched the ceiling, therefor it must be washed and sterilized! So you get nothing! You lose! Good day sir!
Maybe the option to put tnt in a physical position somewhere on the vehicle? if it is activated by a passenger it will fall, but if it is activated in any other way it will stay in the thopter.

That's actually exactly what I was thinking.
Instead of placing a chest or passenger in a passenger spot, you could place TNT, and when the TNT is hit, is activates and falls.
I feel that you should be allowed to place more TNT while you fly. TNT is expensive, so a pilot would rarely have more than 5-10 blocks with him at a time, since ornithopters are shot down so easily.

Only passengers should be able to place additional tnt in-flight. The ability too blow almost anything up with near invulnerability needs more balance.
i like the idea of the tnt bomb this is so going to help me with my new war server and now bombers too awsome the only sugestion i have is a mounted wepon on the thoper for the piolt and if you add that i will give you 1
and i think it is balenced becouse minecarts go under ground and the thoper can't i call that balenced

Ignoring your bad spelling and grammar....I think that a weapon for the pilot goes to far. It would make passengers unnecessary for combat.

i ment for the single thoper not the pasanger
There is no passenger thopter now. And the single thopter should be kept for travel, the large thopter should be combat oriented.
This idea has really gone on its way.....
I am happy.
Agreed :biggrin.gif:

You can actually fire your bow out of the small ornithopter. be careful where you aim it though: you may accidentally shoot your own vehicle!
The small ornithopter is for 1 person travel, resource delivering, and fights like a fighter plane.
The large ornithopter is for multi-person transport, resource delivering, and fights like a bomber with defensive turrets, or like a support craft.
Hmm, there should be a limit to the amount of arrows you can shoot per flight. Thopters should need to land constantly for fuel and bombs/ammo or they become too OP.
Remember that the small ornithopter only flies for 20 minutes on a full stack of coal.
Also, you need to have those arrows in your inventory, and the aiming radius is pretty limited. You really can only fire in about a 30 aiming range up and down, and 60 degrees left and right.
so, v= c+a
a=(some constant)*(-sin%)-drag+engine
drag=(another constant)*c
c is the previous velocity
(-sin%) is the opposite of the sin of the angle, negative because a -30 degree angle is pointing downward, and would result in a negative sin value.
Max velocity would be when drag and engine are equal. (along a horizontal path)
But yes, max velocity for horizontal travel would be reached when drag and thrust are matched, just like real life.
Go ahead and help my dragon! Maybe you can get one too!
I sure know I'll click it!
Keep the suggestions coming!
Just Don't post any images of crafting recipes. Talk about what it will be made out of all you like, but don't talk about the actual recipe.

Only passengers can place TNT. I like that.
Well the pilot can place one TNT when its on the ground, pre-flight.
