Variable cruise speed - монолит - 05-11-2012
Is it possible to implement this ? For example, if a friendly wants to catch up with you, you reduce your cruise speed by 20 which would be 330/380 depending on ship class. I believe it would allow for more flexibility than current fixed cruise speed.

If you are close enough to enter formation with the other ship, the ship that is lagging behind will automatically speed up slightly to close the distance, it is not much, like an additional 5 speed units, but it will get you there.

No it won't. I liked 420 better.

Unfortunately that speed was abused earlier in the days of the mod when people would cruise, have a ship behind them get up to the 420 intercept speed, EK, adrift in front of the first ship, then that one cruises to catch up and hits 420 and EKs and suddenly you have two ships flying alot faster than anything that is running from them or trying to escape them.

I am aware of this. I was just thinking about non-formation flight. Formation is pretty rigid and flawed so i rarely use it.
