Lol imagine getting a station to accelerate to ftl speeds by sublighting.

I should write that "DS versus reality" article I've been meaning to write.
Not for any real purpose, mind, just for a bit of harmless fun.

That would make some sense.
To get a speed increase you would need to lower mass.

We're talking DS physics here, not Newtonian.

Actually the ship with the greatest thrust-to-weight ratio will have the fastest acceleration. Speed is just a matter of time.
Edit: Also, I think we've gone way off topic. Whoops...

So to sum it up:
Can't add more enhancements without breaking balance.
Can't change enhancements without breaking balance.
Can't freely mod ships without breaking balance.
And yet there is no balance, because the best ships are the biggest with the best enhancements there are currently without any negatives.
Someone explain to me how that is balance. Seems to me its already broken.
