Remember, gravity has an inverse square falloff. That means that it has technically infinite range, and merely rounds down to zero in some places. These places are generally outside of galaxies, or at Lagrange points, which are kinda more the fault of velocities n' such. With the static bodies of spacebuild maps, Lagrange points result in the aforementioned "garbage dumps"

helpful AND not helpful! :science:

Sounds to me that there is friction in the system. If I am understanding "static bodies" (the planets aren't moving in relation the the sun or each other) Then the null point/Lagrange would not become natural garbage dumps as a dead/un-powered ship would just continue *through* it.

Maybe a "parking lot" if a pilot *actively* decelerated the ship within the point. But, for an un-powered object (asteroid, spent rocket motor, battle debris) to be coming at it, at just the right (very slow) velocity to avoid overshoot is highly unlikely.

Space is supposed to be (near) frictionless... think of pool balls on a table that they never slow down on.[/QUOTE]
Nice bump asshole

[kill3r]

You're new, so im going to be nice, you shouldn't bump old threads, you can see by the OP(original post) when it was made at the top left, and if it is over a month old, just leave it. Facepunch doesn't like bumping old threads.
