#1: All statistics were taken from the vendetta wiki. Any errors in original data is not the fault of moldyman, though I accept responsibility for, hrm, calculation errors.

Additional interesting information would be ship weights (empty), top speeds (turbo) and turbo energy drain rates.

For that, go here: http://www.vo-wiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=General_ships_table

But... that lacks thrust-to-weight and acceleration rates :.(

Just kidding...

Erik the race in which i was involved where i took Last Place... was that the Deneb or CSR?

Think Jack won 3rd for the CSR... that Miharu ran.

Man i need to race more... >.<

I think it was a Deneb Run.

But... that lacks thrust-to-weight and acceleration rates :.(
What moldy posted as accelerations IS thrust-to-weight rates, but they are not actually correct, 'cause he didn't add 110 kg to ship mass (the weight of FC batt)

I didn't assume battery weight since people do use the other batteries to race too, like me.

Dammit. For all that you have to do to earn one, why does the Raptor suck so much ass? 50m/sec acceleration for a ship you have to earn with a special, rather difficult mission?

Uhm, because it's a standard variant, and all other ships are gonna be mission-tree-required eventually, the raptor was just the first one to be done that way, but i do believe that when the other ships luis is working on are released, they'll also be mission-required, and then they are going to rework the others to be mission-required.. that is, if what inc explained in many other previous posts holds true.

I hope so, Break. I lost interest in the ship after reading the specs on it just before attempting the third mission. A general sort of "WTF am I doing this for?" settled over me, and I went bowling instead.

Aleksey:
moldyman inserted a factor 1000 somewhere in his calculations. That must be why the numbers seemed so odd to me. moldy, did you use Newton per ton or Newton per kilogram?

And Klabbath, I got the Raptor for the accomplishment, and also bragging rights, of course ;)
I think it helped that I only had to try twice.

Also, I agree with moldyman in that acceleration should be calculated using the completely empty ship, for comparational purposes.

Also, the game treats all thrust values as kilo-Newtons, even though they're written in the stats as just plain Newtons.

When the question is only about 100kg powercell you can leave it out of account, though even 100kg is different for 6000kg Warthog/Hornet and 4000kg vulture. At the same time difference between 100kg and 110kg powercell is minimal

Actually if i remember correctly it's not that it treats N as kN but rather kilograms as grams. Not that it changes anything.

Ah, now it makes more sense. That's where the factor 1000 came from.

And Aleksey, since the increase of weight is linear, the decrease of effective forward acceleration is also linear. So it doesn't actually matter if you add weight or not, but it makes comparing the ships a hassle.

toshiro, adding one more line to spreadsheet is a hassle? (did you actually look at my screenshot?) Of course comparing ships by hand IS a hassle. Especially if you compare not only racing sets (which ship is faster -- taur with 40cu of guns or maud with 40cu of guns? and what about 40cu of helio? answers are different!).

The decrease of acceleration is not linear. Just look at highlighted formula in my screenshot (or compare F and I columns).

Nono, I meant, it's easier to use one single value to compare ships by than to add more numbers to compare.

For in-depth analysis, spread sheets are not the ideal way to compare ships. Maybe block diagrams that plot the different characteristics against the ship variants, I don't know.

As for acceleration, the formula is F_acceleration = m*s*t^-2, or m*a. If you increase the mass, the decrease of accelerative force will be directly proportional. I didn't word my reply carefully enough, I was thinking of accelerative force and wrote effective forward acceleration. My bad.

And yes, I did look at your screenshot. Very closely, too :)

Wheee, I'm at least in the first 100.
Gotta get into first 50 Soon(tm) :)
