Ace Dreamer Wrote:What if a ship's drive doesn't give the vehicle any kinetic energy? I'm unsure whether all vehicles in Fenspace are supposed to use, at the basic level, the same drive tech. My reading is most vehicles have some sort of gravity drive, which out of atmosphere becomes a 'speed drive', with a maximum velocity based on vehicle mass - mass also seems to affect maneuverability.
Fenspace has (as the wiki says) two classes of drives...
"Speed Drives" who do not generate much kinetic energy but mostly using some strange "trick" to get a ship fast, which makes it slow down as you switch down the drive.
"Acceleration drives" who work similar to to normal space drives, only MUCH MORE effective than they should be.
We have already enough headaches with these two types of drives, I don't think we want a third one.
