It just doesn't look right.

350ms is alright imo.

And LF's IIRC will go faster in cruise in the new version.

That, and the re-balancing problem. Much easier to just leave it as it is.

I'm perfectly fine with the current cruise speed settings.
Can't imagine how a mining vessel would manage to cruise it's way through an asteroid field.

However, would it be possible perhaps to introduce a 2-speed cruise?
-First one, the normal basic cruise with 350 limit, which can be easily used between asteroids and other obstacles.
-Then an other one, faster, for travelling in open space, where there isn't any obstacle. Around 500 perhaps
When your entering a field, you can switch back to the normal cruise.

Something like a gearshifter... Cruise speed, Warp speed.
Don't know if it's possible to implement it in the mod though..

Sounds nice but the whole issue of rebalancing the traderoutes would still be there. I am not really that sure if this is needed.

-finish 4.86 first

Imagine CDing a pirate while you're in BHG, police, military, CR or any other. That's impossible and all that would be a huge mess.
