it generally takes me a several shots to destroy all there engines, so i generally have time to slow down.

You mean they stop moving when their engines are gone, rather than continuing along their Last vector? Yeah, that would be kinda counter-intuitive... but I guess it copies SE4 physics rather well...

platehead: 'why do you move?'
aristoped: 'why, because the engines make you move.'
platehead: 'so, naturally, what happens when you don't have any engines?'
aristoped: 'you don't move!'

and i'm pretty sure you can all guess who platehead and aristoped are brainless mangling's of.

no insult to MM or Aaron hall intended. when your making a game, you have to make it fun, in a time frame, within a budget and realistic, in that order.

I'm in a hot dogfight with several ships and I am chasing a heavily damaged cruiser. Suddenly a huge battleship closes in and I break off pursuit by taking a hard right... and promptly run off the system grid.

By the time I return to the grid and flee, I am now more heavily damaged then my prey!

SE:SF -Interstellar Goo. It's odorless, colorless, tasteless and makes things move like a turtle on valium.

hmmm,.. it sounds like a diluted form of strictnine mixed with gellatine. "My ship is the Condor. You killed my speed, prepare to die!".

and,.. "omg, It's full of stars!"

Cheers!
