Flight system dynamically determines max speed based on installed thrusters and factors such as ship's mass, damage and other temporary thrust-impacting events.Super CruiseAn intermediate step between SCM and Quantum, travel. Cruise speed allows the ship to sly at much higher speeds but limits maneuvering to controlled tunes only. This mode is perfect for crossing wide open space where there's little chance of needing to turn quickly.Quantum TravelThe max speed you ship can travel. Quantum travel is capable of reaching speeds up to .2c. Due to the dangers of turning at such speeds, the ship's flight control will remove any maneuverability options, so Quantum Travel is only possible in straight lines. The ship must achieve a minimum velocity before the Quantum Drive can spool up.Video Port Olisar:When you spawn on the space station, you can go to the terminal and call up your ships to be on the landing pad.
