Dunno, but the strafe acceleration is probably ship dependent, just as with ordinary ship acceleration. I can't recall if freelancer handles acceleration according to newtonian physics (eg. in relation to ship mass) or according to pre-defined values for each ship. Been a long time since I modded.

While we're at it, I'm all for setting different ship top speeds aswell. Seems rather silly that a fully loaded freighter should have the same top speed as a nimble LF. Cruise speeds should be the same though, for AI-escaping reasons. Imagine NEVER getting rid of a horde of weak AI LF's, valiantly nibbling at your freighter all the way from New Berlin to New Tokyo:(

Proposed top speeds:

BS: ~60
Cruisers: ~65
frigates, large transports: ~70
VHF & equiv: ~75
HF & equiv: ~80
LF & equiv: ~75+
