dampeners not working with space ships

[marv]

i have trouble to fly in sapce with dampeners they don´t work like in atmosphere when i activate them all trusthers just burn and not bring the ship to stop pls help me

I just assume you don't try to stop with atmo thrusters in space.

Do you get any speed reduction? How long did you try?

Do you have enough thrusters for the mass of your ship? Which ones? Ion or hydro?

Do you have enough power or do you get an overload?

I think the number of gyros may play a role.

Is there a grav-drive on?

Any thrust override?

Any attached grids? (through connector, rotor, landing gear or wheels. Grids that are (also) attached via merge blocks don't matter here)

Did you turn the right dampening mode on? (instead of the "same speed as another grid" mode)

That's all I could come up with and now, I have to drive for the rest of the day, so most likely I won't be able to respond soon

(edit: weiß nicht wie gut du englisch sprichst. Kann nachher nochmal übersetzen wenn du willst ;) )

are you sure your weren't in a gravity pool of some planet or moon?

Hi, share your ship on the Workshop, tell me when ready and I will try to find the problem.

so i use hydro to get in space and ion to travel in sapce its just a litle ship for trying i am new to this game no grids atached it´s yust a litle ship with an cockpit and some thrusters and when i activate thrusters and dampeners it just throttles up every engine i tried it before with an simmilar craft and it worked 10 minutes later it stopped working

[Dan2D3D]

Hard for me to tell cause I prefer to try the ship = I will know what is going on.

make sure you have thrusters on each side, like a dice. do you have enough power ? press tab to check your power usage.

thats sounds strange. did you set your thrusters to override mode ? in the case, dampeners wont work !

[marv]

yes i had them on override thx

[Dan2D3D]

Ah! I never use override.

Thanks to mighty
