Hmmm, I thought I commented something here. Maybe I forgot.
I came here for an entirely different reason. I wanted to find a mod to upgrade the line of SAE-4330 Engine to match 3015's speed. The reason: 3015 engine is great, but its appearance doesn't fit Stroud Eklund pieces. I built a very light and nimble (Star Wars' A-Wing) star fighter. The 3015 engine just doesn't fit this setup while SAE engine is literately made to fit. So if any engine supposed to be 180, it is this engine.
In term of your mod, SAE-4330 should be upgraded to 200 speed.
Who told you that? This is definitely not a typo. The engine is listed as experimental engine with a default forward speed of 180 in the ESM. And given the skills and costs required to get the engine, I assume that the higher speed is intentional and not a bug.
skuttlebutt and best guess. Considering that info isn't in the game readable anywhere, and BGS isn't exactly a stranger from this sort of oversight bug; esp witout having the CK. Glad to know it was intentional... but I wonder why there aren't over experimental engines.
not only is it more expensive and locked behind an 4th skill rank, but it also has half the health of its standard counterpart (3010) and lowest of all engines in fact - which is a big deal given the weaker 'A' class shields you'll be stuck with, so it's definitely intended for hit-and-run type of combat.
Not really sure what the issue is with my ship... So i have max engines class A with 28k thrust and im only getting 209 max speed. I have been able to achieve the same speed with less.
I added an engine limit remover for ship builder ad had 6 class A engines. Same speed as before. Not sure why its not getting any faster. Any suggestions?
I love seeing these pop up now that xEdit is viable, but honestly I just want max speed to be dependent on total thrust vs total mass, rather than awkwardly locked behind arbitrary max speeds per class.
It isn't. I mostly use C class reactors and tend to use C class engines rather than B class engines. C engines are only slightly slower than B engines but provide significantly more power and mobility. A class engines are fast and very mobile, but only possible up to a certain size and cargo capacity. And B class engines, well it's B class.
With this mod I will preferably use B engines. Because they are noticeably faster now. And with A class engines it no longer just has to be the white dwarf 3015.
