Increasing Engine Speed
-
Im doing more work on my Andromeda. My next question would be, the standard limit for speed is 90. Andromeda in show could do 140 PSL. I would like to at least give my Andromeda 125. How do i do it??
Help would be greatly appreciated.

Go in DATA\Equipment\engine_equip.ini
-
Find whichever engine you use for your ship
-
speed is max_force / linear_drag, so just increase max_force to get it to 125.

By my calculations here… that would be 84000 for 140mps
that’s with a combined drag off 600… witch is mainly set by the engine drag… ships have a 1 paramIt goes like this… (simply put)…
Engine drag + Ship Drag Gives (A)
Then, Multiply your desired speed (ie:100) by (A) to get basic entry for engine ini
so for a Fighter (normally A=600 here…)600 x 100 = 60000
You’d put the “60000” in the engine_equip.ini block for your desired engine ie:
max_force = 60000
and thats about it… so basicly you’ll have to do ye own calculations but its an easy fix… dont go to fast though… as that can seriously mess with docking… or so ive found hehe… ;D ;D

Changing the max velocity only affects the afterburners and not the normal thruster speed. I know there used to be a mod where your normal thrusters were closer to 200 mps.

Let’s not confuse two things here: you have engines and thrusters. Engines are set as described in my above post; thrusters use a similar technique, but are found in st_equip.ini (shields thrusters equipment). Your maximum velocity is determined by engine max speed + thruster max speed, independently of one another.

ahhhhh, thanks for clearing that up :p. Last night, I had the thrusters set for 500 m/s and it drained the power in less than 10 seconds.
