i like the idea of making different thrusters with different speeds take the cheetah thruster for example.... 20+million... completely useless Why? doesnt make that much of a difference.
now also the name of that thruster should be changed indeffinentely. that thruster is made to go the longest right now. a cheetah in real life is one of thefastest animals in the world but when it comes to stamina it can only run at top speed for 13 seconds before it keels over with exhaustion. so i think the name of the thruster is rather silly. but if it had a higher thrust speed i.e 220-240 but double drain or such it would be alot more believable
im talking bout thruster speed not impulse. im speaking of when you put such and such a thruster on such and such a ship itl make that ship go 20-30-40 faster. i dont think putting speed up per ship is a good idea.
maybe putting a extra thruster slot on some fighters though like LF's would be good.
What would happen? Only everyone would get the best thruster, and effectively the speed would change from 200 to x. Nothing accomplished.. Although it would add to realism, it'd be like the armor upgrades, everyone uses Mk VIII

Well, lets have a 'speed upgrade', based around the armour upgrade. Class I-X, and class one makes you 10% faster, class 2 20% etc.
Either have instead of the armour upgrade, or instead of the thruster, or create its own slot. This should get rid of the speed modders, as they would be able to buy it anyway, thus saving them the time and effort of bothering to hack the server.

Ah now that would be good. Sacrificing an armor upgrade slot for a speed boost. Awesome.
(I'm serious, no sarcasm)

Maybe just make the truster speed of
Light fighter 220
Heavy fighter 210
very heavy fighter 200
Bomber 190
gunship 150
gunboat 140
Heavy gunboat 130
I think this will increase the number of LF's used. And maybe restrict the numbers of guns on a gunship to let's say 5
and heavy gunboats are those with 8 guns able to fire forward
