For years now, I've always wanted to make a game that revolved around space combat. I loved the idea of making an open world, Cowboy Bebop-ish themed sci fi game and a lot of the game parts I do have down: Choosing a ship to go into space, boarding actions (Ship to Ship combat), infantry/ground combat using melee and guns (Blizz ABS), player housing, ship stats, and even AI as your crew.
All was planned out and worked really well to my surprise! I was even able to make a test for online play with a few friends if I were able to get this game going so we could have a private galaxy to run around and pillage as we please.
Ever since then how ever, I was not satisfied with the way my ships would move (As how regular characters in RPGXP would, move and stop when you're pressing a button) and eventually cut the project until 1: had more time to work on it and 2: Could find a system that would allow ships to move and keep moving in a given direction until otherwise told to slow down or move.
Basically having a system that works like this as a basic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ziMOiTInVl8
In the video there's gravity that effects the movement of your ship and what not and I could care less if that's added or not to the engine I'm looking for. I've been searching for a long time for something that had a space ish physics movement system that would apply for space combat!
I'm not the only one looking for this kind of movement system I'm sure but has anyone found a system like this? Does anyone know if this is possible or can be possible? Please and thank you!
I think I kinda sorta made a toned down version of this already http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4ismxEIJiI
If this is what you want, lemme kno cuz it might be a really simple script to make

Oh wow that would actually work just fine! That little bit of slide is good enough by all means! Really wanted to eliminate the press to move, release to stand still movement in the rpg engine :P By the way loving the world map design you got there looks amazing!
