Steering should have inertia, cheap cargo vessels space should be lowered to improve lowest possible acceleration while loaded, and accelerations should be made to be a realistic speed.

Here is an old outdated file by Deus Siddis I opened these files from the forum http://forums.vega-strike.org/viewtopic.php?p=130520#p130520 I just replaced units.csv for a quick test. I launched the ship and attacked Oswald the instructor as I like to do. I thought the effect was as it should be, Oswald's maneuvers were gradual and visible almost the entire time. With careful enough aiming he was always in range. When all of his buddies came of course some them could not move since they had no data, but the battle with the ones that could move was interesting until Oswald kicked my butt.

I don't know yet what it is like fighting with larger ships yet, but just with this test alone I would say that it is much better. I liked the weight that the ships felt like they had when turning, and I liked being able to see my enemy while fighting.

If the only reason that ship accelerations are so fast now is that loaded cargo vessels need enough thrust when loaded, then I think that definitely ships need to be adjusted. I agree that ships cargo space should be shrunk for cheap cargo ships

I say we should go ahead with slowing ships with units.csv, then later move on to adding a simple governor.

    This is the outdated file from the fourm at forums.vega-strike.org/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=15712&start=50#p120750

    Howdy! Someone in my Myspace group shared this website with us so I came to look it over. I'm definitely loving the information. I'm book-marking and will be tweeting this to my followers! Excellent blog and brilliant style and design.
