FASTEST ship in the game - BLU LIGHTNING

Made the fastest ship possible, enjoy the intro and watch thru the video to learn how to easily make such a build.

I don't think I missed anything when testing, but if you know a way to make even faster ship (not by using gravity of planets), then do tell ^.^

My Viper hits over 800M/s, and I've not even finished engineering it yet. Fully engineered and stripped down, a Viper can hit over 870M/s at boost.

The Mamba can't even get close to that, around 640M/s max.

WHAT 800?!

Ships that can equip the enhanced Thrusters (Class 2 and 3 only) can reach LUDICROUS speed. My combat courier can boost to 700MS and cruises at 515 (Which is faster than most of my other ships boost)

All that with a loadout able to kill Elite Corvettes/Anaconda (Struggles with Medium ships like FAS and Chieftain though)

cool but for some reason I find a super fast adder more amusing

yeah how come we don't get Enhanced Performance thrusters higher than class 3? Would like to slap them onto Mamba or FDL .. or Corvette! Now that I have carrier, I don't have to worry about jump range anymore, so could do some insane builds.

In general, the mass curve of enhanced thrusters is really bad, and once you go over like 50T hull mass it becomes effectively impossible to use them, or more specifically, have them outperform A rated standard thrusters.

This is one of the reasons why the Imperial Courier is seemingly the only ship that can use a Combat loadout with Enhanced Thrusters. It uses the Class 3, but has mass more comparable to something like a Sidewinder. Having to power like size 6 Enhanced Thrusters would necessitate a power plant of such mass as to negate the bonus alone.

That's why. They are powerful enough even without superspeeds.

It'll be closer to 900 once complete.

It's simple... trick is in Enhanced Performance Thrusters... Mamba can't equip them. So My Courier boost up to 885 (582 without boost), because I decided to keep 8T fuel tank and 3D FSD for longer jumps instead 2D.

Then my Eagle is better. It has the A-rated scanner, and still does around 900m/s boost (I have to turn the shields off when it's active, though). :)

Well, that sounds entirely safe, yessir. :D

Where do you get the Enhanced Performance Thrusters? need the blueprints from somewhere like the Guardian stuff?

Enhanced thrusters are bought from any engineer that can modify thrusters to Grade 5. So Palin, Chloe and whoever is in Colonia.
