the current speeds are fine as they are and this is coming from some one who constantly flies freighters hub to hub |

The bigger the ship, the more muscle it should technically have (within a gravity well).
compare any animal you like.
Big cats are faster than smaller cats.
Big dogs are faster than small dogs.
Bigger birds are faster than smaller birds.
Large flightless birds are faster than smaller flightless birds.
If you wanted to be pedantic mass is meaningless in space anyway - something the size of the moon, something the size of an ant.. is all relational. If anything you'll expect the engines on a providence to unleash more torque than that of a frigate - and if mass is meaningless, more torque on the engines, more thrust means higher top speed.
But this is EvE, where a spud gun does the same damage as a 3000 kt nuke.
I put it down to a 'wizard did it'
Larger animals move faster do to the length of there strides that comparison does not work here.
as for mass being meaningless in space i would like for you to go back over Newtons Laws before you post any further |

I put it down to a 'wizard did it' oo right.. then put a rabbit running against an hippo and see witch one wins... And no mass is NEVER irrelevant. Go to physics 101. F=M.a that uncorrelated to gravity. Mass is absolute until you get at subatomic level of at relativistic speed levels.
how's he going to learn to look these things up if you just tell him outright yeash |
