Drop the Goliath's Turbo Thrust to 10,000 N

Apr 19, 2018 We all float link
Currently the Goliath has a turbo thrust of 18,000 N. That is just 2000 N less than the trident type M. This doesn't make any sense, since the Goliath only has 1 80MW Inverted pulse displacement engine. The Goliath will still be a more nimble ship and get up to speed pretty quick due its lower mass.

(Also the standard thrust of a type M is listed at 10,000 whereas the goliath's is listed @ 15,000. But this is less of an issue imho).

Here are the Goliath's stats:





And here are the Trident's stats:;

+1 this ship actually has insane maneuverability.

or increase turbo thrust of trident?

@greenwall, and let the carebears escape all the time from people trying to kill them?

increasing turbo thrust a bit isn't an auto-guarantee of conflict evasion, but I understand your point, despite it being not said very well

Another idea to this:
Even if the goliath kept its turbo thrust, it only has one engine. I would think that engine is overworked. It probably can't maintain turbo indefinitely. So up the goliath's turbo energy to 200/s. It will still accelerate like a bat out of heck, but more efficient capships will eventually catch up.
