Idea for future mod

[Taffic]

All too often I agree with Mal on game balance issues - just how many variables do you need??

You can regulate acceleration by changing the weight of the ship. This is why the sabre strafes like a dream and a train doesn't.

I also know that Void-2112 had diff sorts of engines (for choice & all) but players usually used only a very limited selection (#cough# Robot Thruster #cough#) and most of that game choice lay dormant as merely past ideas that had merit at the time. In actual fact here on Disco (with the RP bent) you see much more diversity as the focus isn't on kill stats i.e. dock camping to blow up traders. Am I being to harsh? :unsure:

So yes (I'm sure) the coder_gurus could do it, but with practically every faction represented & most weapons used I'm quite happy as it stands
