MY WHOLE THING IS!! AS SHIPS GET BIGGER hey should get faster! In every other Sci-Fi area you look. The bigger ships are faster. IE. Imperial Destroyers were faster than slower Frigates. Or the Enterprise being faster than a Shuttle. Just doesn't make sence to me why BIGGER ships with BIGGER engines go slower in a 0-G environment when both wiegh 0lbs.
Bigger Engine should = Faster speed in Zero G. Not slower.... It's SCIENCE!
F=ma, KE=.5mv^2 - both are dependent on mass and not weight. A larger ship in general has more room for engines and powerplant and thus is generally faster. For instance, IRL a fleet carrier is faster than the ships it has escorting it.

Thats what I was trying to say. In "zero G" the larger ships would have larger engines.. and should travel faster than the smaller ships because of their larger engines.
So why is my BS 3x slower than my frigate? The BS has MUCH larger engines... and both weight nothing in space. So what gives? Doesn't make sence.

I also noticed that there is a Raven "Spinning out" while on fire. Looks rather interesting.

Am I crazy or am I right? This means the basic physics of the entire game are wrong.... im FREAKIN OUT MAN!

Personnaly I would just like a 30-40% speed up in warp speeds with 40% faster acceleration to warp and deceleration from warp. Warping is too long, the rest is ok, for me. (Make it more star war-ish in terms of acceleration and stopage)
This would improve the immersion and the sense of speed. You could even come up with some skills to make it happen =P

But they both still have MASS.

Why do people seem to think that mass/"weight" doesn't matter in space? It does.
As someone here posted, and someone else misunderstood, F=m*a.
That means a=F/m , which means that "heavier" ships will have less accelleration unless the force is equally bigger.
Bottom line: I'm tired of seeing this "it has no weight in space, bigger doesnt matter"-stuff.
MASS matters for accelleration, and max-speed doesnt exist in space, besides the speed of light.

I'd like to see all the ships move considerably faster / fly with more agility, but rebalancing all the tracking and stuff, so that gameplay remains the same.
I also want everything bigger  (except space :P)
Might be unrealistic, but its bigger!

Eve should be slower...
