well the easiest way is to make a custom engine and edit the ship package to include it ;
the engine _equip.ini has all the engines in it and all you need to know is the max thrust is divided by 600 to give the speed so if you look at the oe_engine package copy and paste it to the bottom (or use FLMM and write a script - the best method) and change the name to one you want and change max thrust to 96000 and you double the speed of your ship

remember to change the goods.ini the use your new engine for the ship of your choice.

all variables are approximations as im a bit pissed right now

"and that sheep ahs walked bow-legged ever since"

if you want to mod the cruising speed:
(you need to conert the inis before editing them, look for BINI and BiniQDU!!)

edit constants.ini
add CRUISING_SPEED = 600 (or how fast you want to have it) under the
[EngineEquipConsts section

if you want to increase the thruster speed:

edit st_equip.ini in the EQUIPMENT folder:
look for the [Thruster entries and change max_force = 72000 to whatever you want it to be (either do this for all of the thruster models or create a new one)
notice: divide 72000 by 600 and youll get 120, which is the speed of the thruster itself. those 120 are added to the ground speed of 80 and therefore you are flying 200 when using the thruster.
to fly 300 you should increase it to 132000 (132000/600 = 220)

and to change the ground speed of your ship:
edit engine_equip.ini and look for engine your ship uses (can get wasteful) and edit the max_force = 48000 to whatever you like (divide by 600 to get the real speed).

Great

well honestly id def reccomend that u up your cruise speed cause if you think about do u wanna be going 600 when in a dog fighter nooo cause u would keep over shooting you enemies, so if you want to edit ur speed u can up ur thruster but if ur like me u like to thrust after ur enemies than itll give u less time and you can once again overshoot them,

back to cruise speed if u want to go faster than 990 if u do happent o choose cruise to chnage u need add well jus copy this its my entire constants file

now if u want to trvael more than 1000 i would reccomend going max of 1500 because when your traveling through an asteroid field u tend to hit everything in your path if you need help with anything else IM on aim-- SuBZeRo69069


Mess With the Best Die lIke the Rest

I thought I saw somewhere that even the trade lane speed can be altered. Is that true?

-----------------------------------------------------------
War does not decide who is right, only who is left.

Is there a way to cahnge crusing speed without schanging how fast normal thrusters go because i like the speed in fighting right now.

It looks like all of you need to pay more attention, this has been covered countless times. Look in the tutorial forum. BTW, the easiest way to change your cruise speed (like they said, don't change your standard speed much...) is to go to the FLMM (FreeLancer Mod Manager) thread and dl FLMM. Along with some other mods, there are three different speed mods that will change your cruise speed to 600, 1200, and 3000. All you have to do to activate them is click!

well read above that just hanges ur cruise speed thats what u want it doesnt chnage the speeds of anything else

Mess With the Best Die lIke the Rest

i havent find anything about tradelanes yet, but i would be very interested if it was possible to alter its speed...

yet i fear it is hardcoded.
