A forum post by Mm Bogdan & Matt

Hi, I'm afraid not. You will only get a result on the impact sensor after the physics system has resolved the collision and possibly moved your ship in an undesirable way. One common workaround is to disable collision on the ship completely and use a triggerzone to detect the intersection between your ship and the obstacle. This has the opposite problem that your ship may appear to go through the objects slightly before crashing. A work around for that is to make the triggerzone move ahead of the ship slightly by the distance that your ship will cover in the next frame. Then you can guess whether the ship will collide on the next frame and react as needed.
Hope that helps
Matt
