Speed/Maneuverability Ratio

There's something I noticed is... missing from Vendetta. I noticed it while playing bumpracer, but don't laugh. I backed it up with good examples from the X-Wing series.

In most space flight sim games, speed affects the maneuverability. In X-Wing, a fighter is about 3x as maneuverable at 33% speed than at 100% speed, with maneuverability decreasing as you get both above and below 33%. However, in Vendetta, the maneuverability is almost the same REGARDLESS of the speed. This means that everyone flies around at max speed all the time. It'd be nice if you were to set up a ratio similar to that of X-Wing, to encourage combat at speeds less than the max engine speed.

Just a thought from me...

I'd like to set a speed. Instead of the current arcadish "'w' to go forward and 'tab' to go max speed," I'd like to set a speed of, oh say, 150, and let the computer do the calculations of the battery drain. I also liked the idea of powering down weapons to feed the engine. :-D
