2 ideas to devs regarding racing / intercepting for Light Fighters

[nOmnomnOm]

I hope you remember before I was talking about using fuel like Nos to boost your ship forwards for a short time.

Well I have a quick idea that might work out and be easy?

When you are flying the Light Fighter how about making a /boost command.
That command will check if you have a type of fuel on your ship or some batteries. Preferably batteries since some LFs have larger cargo than others.
They will then go cruise faster for a certain amount of seconds and then go into cool-down. Maybe 2-5 mins? Maybe 5 mins is too much.
Oh yeah and you will have to be already in cruise to use it.

So this has obvious applications in racing RP but also for intercepting.


Another idea I had just now is to expand upon a 'feature' in the game.
For those of you who don't know, when you cruise in a light fighter you actually go 424 and not 425. To get that one extra tick of speed you have to align your mouse cruiser accordingly and straif accordingly too.
Is it possible to capitalize on this thing and make it not 1 tick but 11 ticks? So that if you do that you are going now 435?
This will make it more better especially if you are racing in rings and doing turns back from left to right. The boosts will actually mean something more than just a slight difference.


Those are my two ideas. Are they impossible to add into the game? Are they good?
