but it would only work in cruise... you cannot shoot in cruise...
And also increasing to 500 would really break the balance.
I had raced with LFs when they were at a speed of 400 and when the changed it to 425 i felt a massive increase. Imagine now if it goes to 500. No way. A +11 boost or at least +6 boost is enough. trust.

Well I'm not sure if strafes can be bent in a way that it only works in cruise with specific strength.
As for the high speed, it would only last for a couple of seconds. It's not like you can get 10k distance in like what, 10 seconds? Even with high speed like that. If you're instead talking about a more consistent and long lasting afterburn, I'm not sure if you don't rather want to consider proposing special racing ships to begin with, rather than have an addon for it. Just my thoughts

Even with 10 seconds a increase from 425 to 500 is huge.

That's why I proposed like three to four or four to three seconds of uptime x.x

Are you talking about the /boost idea or the strafe idea?
I am now confused.
If it is the /boost idea then sure.
If it is the strafe idea then it should be a +6 to +11 increase that is minimal but has a progressive effect.
