Whats it like to fly in Jumpgate?
The proprietary DANCER (Drag And Near-true-physics Combined to Engineer Reality) flight and rendering engine is a hybrid between pure space flight (momentum based, no drag) and atmospheric flight (that includes drag and other effects). The DANCER model models two main forces, thrust and drag, as well as impulses due to collisions. In a nutshell, flight is momentum based, but not impossible, with the “fun factor” kept in mind. Multi-directional damping brakes and gravitic drag in space allow for a realistic feel of space flight without the hassles of 100% true physics as we know them.
