    hy there, i have a question:
    did anyone already make a Gravity Launching System?
    I am trying to build one, but I dont quite make it...

    I would appreciate some help

    you mean like a rail gun type thing? yes, i've seen a few in my time.

    this one is good.

    They generally work by using electromagnets to accelerate metal projectiles.

    yup, like that, without creating any kind of Pressure, just launching a projectile out, would HAVE BEEN useful for launching destructive Bomb, since it is not quite affected by Pressure at all.
    but.... i see, there is no need, thanks for helping me out!

    no problem. Some methods for using a gravity based projectile system are better than others, clearly the one made by this user is well made and certainly got the credit for it. GPMP oscillation diodes are of the most common and realistc methods for rail guns.

    In the new update there is ACEL except that only accelerates energy type particles, I find it slot better than GPMP. Why are you planning on firing DEST? You know it's not easily moved and destroys all types of clone:P

    recently, a suggestion was posted in proposal of an indestructable CLNE that doesn't get destroyed by DEST. Dunno if it's pending or actually gonna be done.

    Yeah, I know also I think DEST should be moved easier as pressure and Newt... Gravity don't really affect it.

    well actually, DEST is coded in a very clever way, similar to ANAR.

    DEST is effected by pressure, but contradicts the direction of the velocity. So basicly, negative pressure pushes it, and positive pressure pulls it. That is why DEST particals traval towards the explosion and not away from it. I'm sure you'll find it easier to move DEST with -256 pressure than 256 pressure. The reason why it is easier to use gravity to push DEST is because it doesn't contradict gravity calculations - if that makes sense.

    DEST is also very dense, so it is hard to get moving in the first place.
