[Not an Issue] Making an Addon; Best java class to get VS2 ship's current speed variable

[TimmyChips]

(I was hoping to label this as "Will Not Fix" but unfortunately I cannot)
This is not an issue with ValkyrienSkies, thus why it's tagged as such, more so general support for developing a mod that uses VS2!

I was wanting to make a small addon that adds a Create mod contraption block that will output rotational speed based on the VS2 ship's current speed it is placed on, E.g. a VS2 ship going 20 blocks per second = 20 RPM output from this block. I figured I would ask a developer what the best java class to get the variable from, since I know the VS2 framework can be pretty complex. I know this is an odd request, so feel free to dismiss it if you'd like!

@TimmyChips I wouldn't recommend using java, as kotlin (which is what's used used by most addons) is much easiier to work with VS2-wise, since VS2 has a ton of kotlin only extension functions + most VS2 addons are written in kotlin

Either way, to really answer this question I'll need to know what VS2 version you're using. A massive api and physics back end update has happened between public VS2 (2.1/2.3) and in-dev VS2 (2.5). Both are publicly available, but in-dev isn't on curseforge or modrinth (And is also fairly unstable).

@PriestOfFerns The version I'm using is the public VS2 2.3 build. Right, I'll have to go with the Kotlin route, I completely forgot VS2 was written in Kotlin and not Java. Thanks again for replying!

@TimmyChips Here's a function I wrote some time ago to get linear speed. If you're trying to do a generator that turns rotational movement into SU, you'll need to use ship.omega (angular velocity)

fun getShipSpeed(): Double {
        var ship = level.getShipManagingPos(blockPos)
        if (ship != null) {
            return ship.velocity.length()
        }
        return 0.0
    }
