Racing Discussion

Higher cruise speeds will make some tracks even more unusable than they already are with the current speed buff we experienced to cruising.

Perhaps looking into Light fighters with 'racing thrusters' that won't drain as much percentage, but they also shouldn't be combat capable.
Perhaps they could even damage your ship if you use them too hard.

Like the furnace, they can have other graphics attached to them.

But the most important thing here is - "nothing is stronger than family"

My preference is thrusters, as that also allows for variable speed control, skill expression through afterburner drain management, and possibly even a pitstop mechanic where using the thruster damages it. So you need to judge when to go off-track to repair. Cruise on the other hand is a binary on or off. There are options there too, like an near instant cruise charge, but that's very start-stop and a bit janky.
