[IDEA] Dynamic top speed
I had an idea regarding top speed in space engineers, though I'm probably not the first to have it.
I think it would be cool if a ships maximum speed could be increased depending on how much thrust to mass it has in it's direction of travel For example, up to 5m/s² of acceleration would be base top speed, but if a ship is capable of 10m/s² of acceleration with its forward thrusters, it could get a bonus of 20m/s of top speed in the forward direction, 20m/s² would be 40m/s, and so on. Every time the acceleration doubles, the top speed would increase linearly. Though the numbers probably need some tuning. Also, the bonus could be a setting controlled by the player.
It would give thrusters a use beyond just acceleration, and allow building ships for top speed, with the energy concerns that come with it.
I like this feedback
