Dropships are mobile, and they can be quickly deployed these are all obvious facts; what I'm wondering is, is it possible to have them stay in one spot and put clones on it? I can't seem to get one to stay in one spot to put clones on it. So I was wondering if there is a way to get one to stay put and stable?

ya thats the same thing i was thinking im pretty sure if u go that attachable sheild idea from the dropblock and make a dropblock that has a big attached platform on the top

I tried that, but my clone fell right through the Dropblock.

I experimented with the idea of a giant ship that actors could ride on top of, but they either get their legs torn off or fall through.

The actor on actor collision is kind of wonky so far (ooh, my clone walked past my robot and tore off his leg, awesome!), if it is possible, then it'd probably require some clever tricks.

Well since Data is supposed to be making some modifications to the collision algorithm it will be possible in the next build, but maybe we can create a little trick to prevent falling.

Like i always used to say:
Restitution.

Restitution of 5 and something hits it, it bounces back 5 times as hard.

Restitution of 1...

It like an equalibreum.

The restitutution of both mats is considered I think.

Can someone explain what restitution is, and what Alenth be talkin' 'bout?

Four words:
Wait till next build.
Whole new physics system with collisions improved.

Tore off his leg? They always implode for me.
