there's been something bothering me since i first got this game. if you read the stat change for the vasari third tier armor research, it says it reduces the mass of ships and structures by 8%. what the hell does this mean? does it have any effect on gameplay? does it make ships faster?
I've never been quite sure, but if the devs are following newtons law, my guess is it affects acceleration.
it affects speed and turn rate by some value (8% maybe?) and, of course, increases armor by however much
Then here a bit of trivia. Cargo ships and Capital ships have the same mass.
i never really got to put much concern on this but i'm guessing acceleration too.
I thought I read somewhere it effects max speed too but I can't remember where so it might just be acceleration.
I'm pretty sure it does affect max speed. If you look at the game files, the name of the research is RESEARCHSUBJECT_SPEEDBOOSTARMOR Based entirely off of that, I would say it increases the max speed
EDIT: Double post, sorry.
sounds good. that was my guess, but i hadnt looked into the game files
