The flexibility of battleships

[Oldum]

Each battleship has it's own turn rate. And this turn rate is also affected by a few factors such as your ship's speed for example.

See here

That might be outdated till a certain point, but is a good place to start. FLStat is your friend though

Well, I'd suspect the predefined numbers, but not sure about it // trollmode off //

However, I doubt it has anything to do with mass, as even mass of capitals is close to non existant when it comes to unit collision, or anything similar.

The only thing I found is that your speed will not be easily changed with very big mass

Define very big mass please. Because mot even the Zoner Juggernaut has a real "mass" in sense of physics, cause if you hit anything, you'll be bouncing around like a rubber ball .. which is horrible and the only piece of Freelancer which I don't like but that can't be helped cause the game itself was not made for capital ships.

Personally, I have no idea what the "mass" described in shiparch.ini is good for, never experimented with it, but I doubt it modifies much, since max angular speed is preset, along with the rest of the numbers. So if you could elaborate a bit on what your subject of research is, we'd have a clue
