yep. the moment of inertia is proportional to the mass (if the mass is concentrated in one single point). one needs to enlarge the mass in order to get a higher moment of inertia and a lower acceleration. F(orce) = m(ass) * a(cceleration), so that

a = F/m.

One can edit the ships mass using S3D, but I'm afraid of unexpected side-effects....if I remember right, the mass is defined a) in the cfg-file of the ships and b) in the sim-file. I guess that the mass in the cfg-file is used for the recognition manual only and has no physicalic effect, while the mass in the .sim-file is used for the physicalic behaviour of the ship model. but I'm not sure, because I'm not a modder. I only want to have an halfway "realistic" game.
