Re: Some observations
"Also, if you give infinite (or even, very high) max speed, won't ships still be able to reverse direction quite quickly?"
Lower the turn speed and acceleration rates to match. I'll test this now, see what happens..
EDIT: a big problem, though, is you can only speed up in 25% incriments. Very odd for a pure newtonian system.
Tested. Speed doesn't affect turn time at all. It does, however, affect turn radius. I didn't play with turn speed, since there is no way to vary it depending on speed.
That does and doesn't make sense. Does, because a ship could turn around quickly. Doesn't, because a ship would still be moving the other direction. Not so in Starfury.
