Ship Specs

Personally, I would like to see more detailled stats, when you are buying/selecting a ship. EX. Turn rate + more varied stats for each ship.

And maybe so stats on strafing

I agree... you should at least be able to see the hull capacity... I knowticed that today when I was compairing a ECCxxx with a Warthogxxx... they both have the same MASS... Then I realised that that had nothing to do with how much damage I could take...

P.S. Aquitaine there is a EDIT and DELETE button so you dont have to double post... ;P

The hp is listed in the bottom-right corner of the buy screen.

I know that the hp is listed on the bottom, but there is nothing on turn rate, even though is seems to change from ship to ship

The Agility is the turn rate.

Is that still on there? I haven't looked lately...
Oct 07, 2004 Aquitaine link
no nothing about agility is there

Rotation torque is there. Mass is there.
Those are the stats that determine agility.

To clarify: The rotation torque is how much force it puts into rotation. The mass is how much inertia the torque is fighting. More mass, poorer handling. Lower torque, poorer handling.

There should be a statistic for linear and rotational acceleration. Sure, if you want to whip out a calculator and your old physics textbooks you can derive it from what is currently shown, but it would be a hell of a lot easier to pick a ship if we could see the numbers for those statistics.

Here ya go:

and this is old, so it may no longer be accurate, but it includes a bit on rotational accel:
