gravity fields more powerful than others?
  • has anyone noticed that some gravity fields in ABSp are more powerful than others?

  • Absolutely, you can get a pretty good idea of how strong the field is by watching how fast the gravity pulses travel toward the planet.
  • true, but it hard for long distance flings
  • Doesn't seem like the planet's size makes it like that, so guess its just random
  • In true physics (which AB:Space does not seem to obey entirely), the force of gravity is proportional to the mass of the objects involved, not necessarily their size. So even if one planet it (radially) larger than another, it may be less massive (ie, the smaller planet could be far more dense).
  • Ohh, nice touch rovio, thanks @slim
  • thanks for the science, @slim :) there are a few very small planets which exert a great pull on the birds, and it's worth watching for changes in pulsing, as @burbman noted. I've been caught out by that a few times...
  • Interactions between between gravity and sling energy are what makes space so challenging.
  • And very interesting and fun to play
