How to change the speed limit?
My ships' speed will be limited to around 240m/s when i give them orders,but when i use direct control it can easily beyond this limitation.it must be something limit its thruster activation(when it reached 240m/s,it will turn off some of its thrusters)
ive searched all the data files but can find nothing to change it,the damping factor can change the limit but it just directly increase the speed,not let the ai use all its thrusters which is not what i want to see.

i found that its the SRF factors influenced this,but whatever i changed SRF,the ship will stop using their thrusters in very high speed,even in direct control mode.
I'm not sure what "SRF" is. The game shouldn't have any direct speed limit, though due to the way the drag algorithm works, there's a point (I think around 600?) where additional force starts slowing you down instead of speeding you up.
i know that this game didnt have physical speed limit,because you can always use direct control to reach your highest speed.i was doubting the ai control logic,SRF is something to change ai's moving logic i think,but whaever i change it,ai will not reach the speed i can reach in direct control(especially for super high speed ship,around 240m/s)and when she ships goes on a even higher speed like 500m/s,the direct control mode will lose its control on ship too,the ship will not activate its thruster.(you can try to override the thruster file to change its force and see whats happening in the game)

My best guess is that 240 is as fast as it can go without veering too far off course. if you post a link to the ship file we can confirm or look into why it's happening.

I dont know how to post the link,but you can easily meet this problem by just simply multiply
the thruster's force(5 times or 10 times),in that case,all the designs will come into the situations as i said----ai will not activate part of its thrusters or even all the thrusters.
