CRUISE_STEADY_TIME = 2.0

Sounds like the time from cruise start -> top speed. 2 seconds seems about right. ATTEN probably = attenuation, which is resistance (cruise brakes?), for times like flying in formation. I've watched my speed go down to about 40 or so while still in cruise, the ship was trying to maintain formation. Haven't messed with any of these numbers yet, just an educated observation.

here's a thing..
if you change all the ships.. then you wouldnt leave them behind

My Msn is [email protected]

Im A outcast really
In the Indy[[Norway Server

It seems that you guys can figure out a lot. Could anyone tell me how to change the trade lane speed?

Thanks in advance

Any way to change all the charge speeds at once??

how do I know which one is my ship?

it's all in code

ps I'm flying an Eagle

Dude, where's my Super Star Destroyer?

The edits don't work. However, I installed the Dreadnought battleship mod and my max afterburn is only 29. Can you give me specific lines to edit in order to get it to normal afterburn speed?

Found this :

/DATA

Constants.ini - Static info about the game.
Under Constants - MAX_PLAYER_AMMO = ####
Under EngineEquipConsts - CRUSING_SPEED = ####
Under AsteroidConsts - MAX_LOOT_PER_ASTEROID = ####

I haven't tried changing CRUSING_SPEED yet but it sounds like the one to try, doesn't it?

i want my ship to go at 300 when thrusting rather than 200 what do i type in in the force line

as Colt374 already mentioned, simply add a
CRUISING_SPEED = 500
below [EngineEquipConsts in your constants.ini to increase the speed to 500
to increase the thruster speed from 200 (=120 above normal top speed, force = 72000) to 300 (=220 above normal top speed, force = 132000). Substract the maximum normal speed (without Thrusters) and multiply this number with 600 to get the needed force for the wanted Thrusterspeed

PS: Sorry for my bad English

The speed of the enignes and thrusters is defined not only by the max force, but by the angular drag along the Z-axis as well.

Ok, now im curious about something. Does speed depend on the thruster like you buy in the game or the ship itself ?

So if i modify the advanced thruster, all of the ships' speed which use that thruster type will be what ive set. Right ?

I'm not sure if i understood what you mean, did you ask if only the Thruster is responsible for a ship's speed? Then the answer is no, they don't change speed

There are 4 types of speed:
1. Engine Speed: The speed of a ship's engine, default 80, edit in engine_equip.ini
2. Thruster Speed: The speed of your thruster, adds to engine speed, default 120 (sum 200), edit in st_equip.ini
3. Cruise Speed: The speed every ship cruises, default 300, change in constants.ini (add "CRUISING_SPEED = XXX" below [EngineEquipConsts)
4. Trade Lane Speed: The Speed your ship flies when you dock to a tradelane, don't know where to change yet

Cheating is for losers
Modding is for fun

Thanks for the answer. But i wanna know why the slave 1 goes faster than other ships in cruise mode even it says 300 ? I activate the mod with flmm and it didn't even changed engine or equipment ini file. Its normal speed is 160 and the thruster speed is 279.

Oh my goodness. I saw now it has two engines ! It goes 80+80=160. The ship has mass=150.000000 line. Do two engines mean the ship goes 300+300=600 in cruise mode? It shows 300 thou. But i keep getting away from juni or any other ship in missions when they follow me.

I did try the Slave I too and had those two engines in it, yes they are the reason why you are twice as fast. I haven't tested cruise speed, but sounds like your observation is correct, Cruise speeds above 300 are not shown in the hud, don't know how to do that yet
