Ok, what if we could arbitrarily assign specific ships different cruise speeds? What if we could make thrusters that have different speed bonuses? Imagine the possibilities such as...
Blockade Runners
Interceptors
Strike Craft
Scout Fighters
I found a way to make it doable. The speed mod affects the multiplayer server since this game is so client oriented. Therefore, what if we made a script that detected what ship you were flying and modded the Discovery installation to give it that speed (yes this MAY need a restart of the client when selecting/switching characters + upgrading these new engine parts)?
