Bullet Trains

[Trogdor]

If you make the ship move faster thru tradelanes, it will, by definition, move faster thru tradelanes. That means any ship unfortunate enough to be ahead of you is going to get rammed by a very large, very fast-moving object.

Ideally, fix tradelanes, ie. temporarily make ships immortal while for the duration inside the tradelanes. I've had enough of getting nearly murdered inside tradelanes everytime I enter it in close proximity to another ship anyways.

Eh, even if ships took no damage while in the tradelane, it'd still be pretty goofy/immersion breaking/unprofessional/whatever.

Also even discounting that, what about when the front ship is just exiting the tradelane, and is no longer protected? Then here you come at a massively higher speed than they are exiting... CLONK.
