Gliding

[quote=Remaster AD]<br />Yazirians can glide short distances using the membranies along their sides. A yazirian can glide 1 meter for every meter he is above the ground when he starts. He must start at least 10 meters above the ground. The maximum distance a yazirian can glide depends on the gravity of the planet, as shown below.<br /><br /><font size="3"><b>Yazirian Gliding Table</b></font><br /><table width="203" border="0" height="112"><tbody><tr><td style="background-color: #000000" align="center"><font color="#ffffff"><b> Gravity</b></font></td><td style="background-color: #000000" align="center"><font color="#ffffff"><b> Max.

Does he suddenly fall to the ground after 10m? I've always interpreted that table as the max glide result is the distance traveled for trading 10m of hieght. (I've argued with a player over this, which was silly since I was the referee and my ruling benefited his character).<br /><br /><font size="3"><b>Question #2:</b></font> how far can a yazirian glide in a turn? Or rather, at what speed does a yazirian glide? It doesn't seem right that a yazirian in 1G would only travel 10m while another yaz in .6G would travel 150m in the same time. What I'm getting at is if say gliding speed is 50m per turn then a yazirian in 1G would travel 50m in a straight line while dropping 50m altitude in one turn and a yazirian in .9G will travel 50m horizontally while dropping 20m of altitude in the same turn.<br /><br /><font size="3"><b>Question #3:</b></font>Then we have issue of what happens in a steep dive? What if the Yaz opts to drop more distance faster?<br /><br /><font size="3"><b>Question #4:</b></font>Then we have what happens if a yaz tries to make an attack while gliding? To glide he must keep his arms and legs out stretched. but to aim a pistol or throw a weapon will cause a loss of glide surface and should result in loss of altitude.<br />
