Besiege | Anti-Sliding & Overspeed protection for ground vehicles

A common problem for heavy ground-based vehicles is that it has a lot of inertia. This is bad for maneuverability (as demonstrated in the first section of the video). Ideally, the vehicle should not slide sideways when it enters a turn. This is like driving a car on an icy road, bad for maneuverability. Additionally, since a vehicle can get very heavy, using wheels to power it is impractical, therefore the utilization of thrusters, such as "nives," is necessary. But the vehicle's overall drag is not enough, causing the thrusters to accelerate the vehicle to uncontrollably speeds. Reducing thruster power causes vehicle to be unmanuverable, which is undesirable. To solve this problem, the installation of "high-drag" panels, which are made from build surface deformable panels (it is referred in many ways, I tried to put all the words that were used to refer to it there), prevents overspeed and sliding. Sliding is a pretty easy concept to understand. (note that this is different than the togglable rope generator video to prevent oversteering (not in the traditional sense, rather that the command of a turn causes the vehicle to turn way too far in one direction beyond what the user intended due to poor design) ). It is generally undesirable both for performance and usability for the user for the vehicle to "go where it feels like it should go", and not "drive like a boat." - To combat this, installation of high-drag panels on the four corners. Overspeed, somewhat similar to an aircraft experience overspeed, is when the vehicle is traveling at a speed that will likely cause damage to the vehicle but also at a speed where the user generally no longer has control over the vehicle. From a user and functionality perspective, it is undesirable for the vehicle to be able to accelerate to such a high speed with thrusters, the main functionality issue is that the acceleration to high speed takes a long time, meaning the utilization of the high speed is basically impossible. - to combat this, installation of high drag panels that is facing the direction of travel, Note that "collision less" panels have all mass centered at a specific point in space, rather than the average of where all of the panel's colliders exist at. The demonstration uses two panels so that the mass is balanced, although it is possible to just move the point to the middle of the vehicle (I was lazy). - This does decrease the speed of the vehicle, but allows the vehicle to "drive more naturally/realistically." - Additionally, this allows acceleration to feel more intuitive and "faster" in general. These are technically not necessary, but making the vehicle slide everywhere like a sled is very annoying for the user to operate. The panels are weaker without collision, they break easier from shock force. But collision causes tick damage to destroy them, which is more a major issue for any vehicle designed for combat. - Increasing mass increase strength, but making them too heavy is bad because the vehicle will be TOO heavy.
