well there is a hard coded issue where all ships get a free jump to 0-5 kts in 10-15 seconds and from 5 kts up you can actually control what they do, so they still can move out of the way on you but a bow shot should clip them in the rudders unless your too far away. but this is still better than stock where they go 0-5 kts in 2 or 3 seconds. |
Webster,
That isn't exactly accurate. I have been able to get merchant ships to only make 5 to 6 knots in the 1st minute, and to get them so that they don't reach their top speed for up to 20 minutes by just changing the engine HP and engine RPM.
As a suggestion, I would not use just the drag coefficients to cause the speed changes. You lead yourself open for weird things to happen in game.
