Speed upgrade

[Dab]

Since the problem of manouvering larger ships in asteroid fields seems to be the most serious one in Discovery, I would like to suggest a solution. I don't know if it's possible, or if anyone would like to enact something like it, but here goes: The asteroids and debris look fine, but can really be a pain in the ***. Perhaps they should be visible ONLY. I mean, players should be able to see them, but their ships would fly through them, like through vacuum. Perhaps players owning smaller vessles will find it quite funny to be able to literally hide inside a bigger rock, but I think it is a reasonable price to pay for spending less time and patience on getting in and out of an astreroid/debris field. I myself had serious problems getting anywhere after buying my corsair dreadnaught, since almost all jumpholes leading out of the Omicron Gama system were located somewhere in an asteroid field( Omicron Theta, Omega 41, Unknown). Even when flying below 30m/s It took me some 15 minutes to get to the Theta jumphole. Should any of the admins read this post, I would be extremely grateful it they considered solving the mentioned problem in the next version of the Discovery mod.

Hey, why don't we just lower the damage of mines to zero, give everyone infinite maneuverability, fighters able to shoot battlerazors, and trains to hold as much cargo as you can buy?

Bad idea man. These are some of the things you must think about when buying a BS. It might change your choice of ship, one able to go in asteroid fields instead of brute firepower, and also makes tactical choices different. You take away asteroids, you take out a layer of the game. Should we make planets able to be flown through as well? Maybe sensors that can detect anyone within 200km?
