POLL: Basic goods

But when a ship doesn't have to overcome any significant force (gravity, friction), the force which one needs to apply is to overcome that lack of force is, well, negligible. As such, one can accelerate very slowly and still apply a large enough force to move at an adequate speed. Because there is no limiting factors in space as well, one never has to accelerate very sparsely in comparison to on a plane which exerts a normal force, and thus friction, or any other limiting factor.

Think about driving a car. Every so often one has to tap the gas to maintain his speed. In space, where there is no friction to oppose motion, one never really has to reapply that acceleration. You can just continually drift at 80mph on I75 all the way up to Sault Sainte Marie before you have to apply any force to yourself, negative or otherwise, so to speak.

Furthermore, with things like Trade Lanes and Jump Gates, do ships really need to accelerate that far without being catapulted like they are in lanes and gates? Those machines can almost instantly apply such a large force to you that accelerate, well, crazy fast. Most large ships can make good use of these machines, the ones which can carry loads of cargo at any rate, so why would they take mass into consideration if they can bypass Physics so easily?
