Jetpacks: Freedom of motion on space stations

[Dunewolfz]

I'd love to something that redefined what a Jetpack is, instead of using the old IC2-esque Jetpack. Something that creates Negative Mass around itself in order to create a bubble of what is essentially reversed gravitational fields surrounding it. This would allow ascension, descension, and hovering with justified logic behind it. We don't know what's out there, so it's entirely possible there's something with a Negative Mass out there (I mean, stranger things have happened, Black Holes come to mind).

What I envisioned was a space station blocks. Some with windows, and so forth. Magnetic boots. That would allow you to walk on the space station blocks. Any side of the space station block. Not as clean as jetpack's, probably harder to code, but an idea.

lol ... you watch a bit too much science fiction.
How about simply charge the jetpack with oxygen and fuel and let this burn down while you're fluying?
That would also work in space and everybody would understand the theory behind it easily

I like this idea, but it needs to be block, which can be easily crafted, because you need a lot of them in a space station. How about craft them with 4 clean stone and 1 iron bar and you'll get 4 (or 2) magnetic blocks.

why don't you use the modular powersuits mod, its already compatible with galacticraft, you can make your helmet airtight and the oxygen tanks fit right with the model of the powersuits. and it actually looks like a spacesuit too

 

[tihmstar]

i don't want to install any other mod

First off, it's not science fiction (we just need to find something which has negative mass (which we could likely find in the more "exotic" parts of space. Secondly, the theory behind it is fairly simple in Leman's terms: Space bends towards things with a positive mass, and away from things with a negative mass.
And the best part is, it makes more sense than IC2's jetpack.

To add to this, although it isn't the same exact thing, this is pretty dang close in concept:

even if i don't understand what you're talking about (sorry my english is not that good ) i think you know about this stuff a bit/a lot.
But i hope you agree me, that micdoodle8 should add jetpacks, which are charged with either oil or oxygen or both.

That has nothing to do with the concept. That refers to, very simplified, attractive or repulsive forces. Not negative mass.

Negative mass and reversed gravitational fields do not mix. First off, nothing can have negative mass. Something can have 0 mass, but not negative mass due to interactions with the Higgs Boson field. (The goddamn particle anyone?). There is no possible way for a particle to interact with that field and have a result of a negative mass.

And the best part is, it makes more sense than IC2's jetpack.

I'm not too sure about that. I say it makes just about as much sense as the IC2 jetpack. That is, 0 sense.

Shut up and let me have my fun.
And they said that black holes were impossible, too.

In fact, a lot of things we've said were "impossible" turned out to be the exact opposite. Negative mass is entirely possible. Don't damn something simply because we haven't found it.

can i have my jetpacks now?

Nuuuu

Im sorry if this was in the FAQ but Im just to lazy to check, so here we go:

I would like to have some kind of jetpacks to help you in improving your space station and/or just be fun to play around with. I have played a lot of space games and all of those Ive played has jetpacks in them.
But since minecraft is my favourite game of all time i would really want to see it in this awesome mod.
When i say improving your space station I mean like in a scenario where your space station breaks down because of a wire breaking or something i would love to have a jetpack to be able to fix it. Currently I have to place a block underneath me to be able to place another wire down, this sort of breaks the feel for me.

You mean eva?

What do you mean?

 

[TheUnkownPlayer]

What do you mean?

spacewalk=eva

 

[samTheCyborg]

spacewalk=eva

Oh of cource! Yes that is exactly what i mean.

ok this thread is problably going to be locked...
