Overall Speed Modification

I know this has been asked before, and I know how to change the speeds myself. And I went searching for mods that did what I'm looking for, but no avail..

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone knows of a mod that changes the speeds of ALL ships in the game. Have the larger ships keep their current speed, give medium ships a 25% speed boost, while giving the smaller ones a 50% boost. Or enable the use of thrusters in cruise mode (with risk of damaging ship systems, if that would occur), or adjustable cruise speeds for ships with powerful engines(if possible. If not, then a flat cruise speed boost for all.) Things like that. It's just really boring being able to only go 0-80, 200, and 300 (with nothing to do but sit around and wait for a pirate up ahead to nail you with a cruise disruptor.)

But.. Yeah.. Stuff..

Well my mod does some of that, but it hasn't been posted by the Lancers Reactor guys yet.

I have various ship speeds, mostly by class allthough there are some differences between ships of the same class. The slowest non-capital ship speed is 80 and the fastest is 110 without thrusters. I also have the thrusters giving different boost speeds for different ship classes, they're very effective in light fighters and considerably less effective in freighters. You can also mount more than one thruster on any ship that can normally mount them, I made them interchangeable with the mine droppers and countermeasure droppers.

I increased the cruise speed for all ships to 500, you can acutally go faster than that in some ships with multiple high-end thrusters mounted but you can't use thrusters while in cruise mode.

And a whole bunch more not at all related to your initial post.
