StarbaseSim is now available to purchase and play on the Epic Games Store 🥳🥳🥳
Please check the store site for details.
There will still be free/demo versions on Itch.
It will also come to Steam sooner or later. But let's see first how it goes on EGS. There will be cross play.

Luckily, yesterday the engines were out opposite the tower on lift off. What could have happened, if they went out on the other side?
In my sim it lifts off the OLM still fairly fast with 9 engines out, but at full throttle. Yesterday it might have been far from full throttle?

What happens when Starship Super Heavy looses a few engines during lift off?

One of the aspirations of StarbaseSim is to be able to recreate these videos. It should be possible to do most of it already. Just the visuals need some upgrades and of course, getting anywhere close to these clouds and plumes in real time will be very difficult, but we will try.

More views of the new ship model that's in the latest StarbaseSim update.

If you have been playing only on Low quality, you might have been wondering, why there is no water. That's because so far it was deactivated completely by default.
In the new update there will now be a simple plane at least and you can always toggle the HD water from the menu.

Here is a look at the first version of RCS with 20 kN thrust per vent. Seems reasonable, and if it isn't, you will be able to adjust the value any time :)
What's the thrust level of Starship/Super Heavy RCS thrusters? Do we have any estimates/ideas on this yet?
Seems, the Space Shuttle had 3.87 kN. This is total, right?
So if Starship would use similar thrust/weight, we would get in the range of 40 kN or more?

Is he saying Starship will grow 30 meters? Or the whole stack?
Because if it's just the ship, it would be longer than the booster! 😲
@waitbutwhy
Max payload of Starship V1 in expendable mode (like the other rockets) is ~200 tons.
V3 is expected to be ~200 tons with full reusability and ~400 tons expendable. Length will grow by 20 to 30 meters and thrust to ~10k tons.
