John515 Posted February 18, 2004 Report Share Posted February 18, 2004 20"/segment, 4 SPD = 80" turn(12 seconds) Seems a bit slow, to me. High end production model PWCs ("jetskis") routinely do 60-65 mph out of the box (despite what the speedometers read). Am I miscalculating something? Is acceleration taken into account (it takes about 4-8 seconds to hit top speed on a production boat under ideal conditions) I am assuming that by factoring in acceleration, less-than-ideal water conditions (chop), and typical operator error, one might arrive at that figure. Any thoughts, herophiles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vorsch Posted February 18, 2004 Report Share Posted February 18, 2004 If its 20" a segment as you stated thats 40m/second which is 90mph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirViss Posted February 18, 2004 Report Share Posted February 18, 2004 I'm pretty sure he meant 20"/phase ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vorsch Posted February 18, 2004 Report Share Posted February 18, 2004 if its per phase ,well Hero velocitys arnt exactly the most rigorous in the gaming world, so its 30mph combat with the x2ncm gives 60mph. as i noted before in another thread, if its based on spd then its damage changes on move thrus ( quite alot actually ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John515 Posted February 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2004 Nevermind.... 20"/PHASE with a 4 SPD = about 60mph That would be about right. My mistake! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any thoughts, herophiles? It's x2 Noncombat, so 40" a Phase, SPD 4 = 160" per Turn. 48000" per hour or 96 kph (59.66 mph). I didn't mess with the acceleration so it accelerates 20" a Phase, reaching max on its second; or 3 seconds to reach top speed, so the COIL jetski's got some giddy-up and go... call it a superhero personal watercraft, i guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
