max impulse speed - retnuh - 02-23-2009
i searched for "max impulse speed" and found nothing so sorry if its been asked before, but what is it?

max speed is 80, with thrusters it's 200 on fighters and it varies on larger ships. Cruise speed is 350, and cruise speed to catch up to a formation member is 420.

I have half a feeling (though I can't remember, long time since I've flown one) that the camera ship had a faster thruster speed, 220 or something.

Thats right, it does. It also goes very quickly backwards ans sideways. Means that you can use to to get wherever you need to be to get good fottage in a fight, while being small and fast enough to stay out of the way of all the combatants.

Yeah, the camera ship travels at 200 normally and 320 on thrusters, allowing you to go at cruise speeds if you thrust and strafe.

ah ok it means speed without thrusters, thanks the huntres is faster than most ships tehn as it has 90, are there any others apart from huntress and camera that are faster out of interest?
max impulse speed - zeinstruktor - 02-23-2009
No.. The Huntress isn't faster. That would make no sense.

i first notced the stat when looking at the huntress info card it said 90, my current ship had 80 so i wanted to know what it was. If it cant go 90 then its a mistake in the info card

Actually all BS do go 90 at impulse I believe, but the Huntress is listed wrong (cause FLstat says it's impulse is at 80.07:P).

ok thanks for the info, i presume the BS doing 90 makes up for them not having a thruster in a small way
