(I just lost the game)

'k then.
1. One Meter is 20 Pixels (As defined in the Settings.ini)
2. The rocket is 37 pixels wide and 100 pixels tall (or 1.85 meters wide and 5 meters tall)
3. It's center of Mass is -18 by -63 pixels (or 0.9 by 3.15 meters)
4. It weighs 860.0005 Kilograms (If 1 mass = 1 Kilogram)
5. The Main Thruster's particles weigh 9 kilograms each
and are being propelled out at 18 velocity units
and are emitted 83.3 times Per Second. You'll have to do
the math on that one.
6. The side thrusters are 52 pixels (2.6 meters) above the
center of mass. The particles weigh 2 kilograms each and
are being propelled out at 18 Velocity Units and 41.6 times
a second. Again, you do the math.

Assuming Data has an extremely physically accurate engine, and 1 Mass is 1 Kilogram.
Also, the rocket mass has all the attachables taken into account since I know they add mass.
Have fun with your physics

EDIT: And we do have access to key bindings. Just look at
the Melon Racer scene, or Lord Tim's Cabbage Puncher.

And I remember Tim saying something about a function that could detect how high the terrain is....

And this is all for Rocket MK1

Another great idea, with no basis in reality, doomed to fail.

Thus is the life of the CC community =/

Because it is based on nothing. It is a minority group of a forum who's opinion of what goes into the game does not matter. All he's doing is saying "HEY DATA, MAKE THIS 4 ME PLZ," when we all know that is just not how it works.

As such, it is a great idea (who wouldn't love intercepting "missiles"), with no basis in reality (there is no planned or announced functionality such as this), and as such, doomed to fail.

I can't make it any clearer.

You make it sound like DRL ignores suggestions the community makes entirely. Which isn't true.
e.g. The to-do list will have an add suggestion feature and voting.
[I was going to link to my old suggestion of variable-based grenade throwing velocity and cook off features, but ironically the wishlist thread is inaccessible, which I personally resent.]

But this suggestion in particular would be a lot of work for a pretty simple specialized function that wouldn't really pay off much.
The necessary algorithms and whatever are WAY beyond what craft AI will likely ever get to, and to do something that's more fun if done manually anyway. It's a neat idea, but not at all a practical use of development time/effort for a game of this scale.

Or, maybe set a go-to point for crafts?
