	75 Heavy Hulled vessel with full Armour Plate, and 15 Thrust Engine Mk1: Combat Speed: 1.54 Manoeuvre Speed: 0.8 g 75 Heavy Hulled vessel with full Armour Plate, and 35 Thrust Engine Mk2: Combat Speed: 1.95 Manoeuvre Speed: 2 g I was under the impression Heavy hulled vessels were supposed to operate at twice their maneouvre rating in combat situations, not slower? The Manoeuvre rating matches up with the changes I made in my pl_items.cfg file when adding the Mk2 Thrust Engines, however the Combat Speed most definately does not - according to the ship editor, this should be at 4.0.

	There is simply not enough data to go off here. Are both ships fully kitted out? Are there any other engines involved? Do they have enough crew factors? Do both have the same integrity? Do they have the same captain experience? Have you given the correct values to the thrust engine mkII? Might as well ask a blind man to tell the difference between blue and green.

	Both ships are fully equipped. No other thrust engines are involved. Crew factors are fully covered. I was under the impression integrity had no effect on ship speeds? Both are over 60%, however. Both ships are on 0% captain experience. The values I have entered for both engines in the pl_items.cfg file are: Item=160,Thrust Engine,20,31,1000,0,True,0; CrewFactors=2; Item=161,Thrust Engine MK II,20,31,1200,0,True,0; CrewFactors=2; The point I was trying to make, however, is that I was under the impression Heavy Hulled vessels operated at twice their Maneuvre speed - not 0.5 slower, as the Mk2 ship currently is.

	Latest turn for this position is showing combat speed at 3.92 with the Mk2 Engines. Presumably the combat speed either does not update until the next turn, then, or integrity has a significant effect on combat speed (Which I was unaware of).

	QUOTE (Ro'a-lith @ Aug 5 2003, 03:50 PM) integrity has a significant effect on combat speed Yup. Boneshakers do not corner particularly well. Integrity = 100% Combat Speed = 4.11 Integrity = 50% Combat Speed = 2.05 Integrity = 10% Combat Speed = 0.41 She canney take much more of this captain.
