Heavy Fighter's Cruise Speed

[Karst]

On second thought, and after some quick calculations, you're probably right.

Let's say a fighter needs to get 7k closer to a target cruising away to CD them.
In a light fighter, this is achieved after around 50k.

Which means a 375 HF would take 100k. That kinda gap is, I suppose, enough to warrant the use of a LF instead, although it would still mean a HF is capable of chasing down a target that has a long way to fly, such as a pirate.

So yeah....s'all good I guess, I would welcome this change.

Right now, the only HF's I see fairly regularly are Bayos. Although it's not like LF's are exactly common. Maybe they should get a (very small) cruise boost, too. Or even a tiny thruster boost, 6 m/s or so.
But that's another discussion a guess.
