Rules update 5.7 6.6 6.7

[Ursus]

I can however imagine that a larger less mobile transport would be in trouble, but what really svaved me was the thruster speed difference. Once you put a little bit of distance between you and him, it's a safe run home.

Kamome is a transport, and has the same 139/140 afterburner speed as cruisers. Thruster duration would make a difference--if your Kamome had an enhanced thruster and the cruiser had a capital thruster, you'd thrust for longer and beat him on distance.

Kamome is also pretty nimble, and should be able to dodge capital ship weapons fire pretty well with a +1k gap (800 m/s means 1.3 seconds for weapon fire to reach you at that distance). So dodge for a bit then the thruster duration kicks in.

Neither of those are true for heavy cargo ship that uses cap thrusters because of nova bombers. Those cant avoid anything and will run out of afterburner at the same distance.
