Cruising speed

[ristallderon]

What is the meaning of cruising speed difference?
I think IF someone can change it and make it different for different ship classes than he can give it some meaning. For example do it 500 or 600m/s or even 1200m/s for LF Arrow. Any speed that makes it hard to drive in dense clouds Because its looks like this ship is done exacly for SPEED and has no meaning without it coz have no gunz (ye i know there is 2 of them yep, but still) and no armor. Do it faster then light lol. Remove shieldpoint, weaps, and bot/bats And then do some speeding event somewhere in any clogged systems and give some prize for guys who finish alive lol. Or let there be guns but capable to shoot during cruise (if it possible here. i know it possible to do in freelancer StarWars mod) haha. will be funny i think

Messing with maximum speeds means we have to adjust the anti-cheat to accept it, though low impact, can allow for certain exploiting (like ship launching with EK). Aside from that, there is no fundamental reason for us to increase the speed of something unless it aids it in its desired role. Light fighters having 425 cruise speed is enough for them to be an interceptor and CD someone they wish to chase, but not so much that as soon as you're on scanners you cant escape. If you want special privileges for the Arrow for racing purposes, or thrill-seeking, most mechanics can already be achieved through player controls (you dont have to mount a shield if you want to host an event through the badlands.)

With the cruise and firing weapons, we're not ready to cross that bridge anywhere in the future.
