Changing Strafe Speed

Is there a way to increase strafing speeds?

Had an idea for ships that strafed rather than just boosting forward.

No way I know of, sorry

So its confined to only something like 30 mps?

i think that it is confined to the maximum speed of the ship. eg a teladi condor will strafe slower than a paranid pegasus. and i have no idea of if it is possible to change it.

So question is, is there a way to not be able to use speed but still use strafing.

I keep on reading about strafe drives. My game has strafe drive mapped and also my joystick. But nothing seems to happen when I try these controls. I am probably doing something really stupid but I hope someone can help.

Hold down [CTRL] and either [UP] or [DOWN] while parked next to a station and you will see strafe driving. Personally its supposed to be best used in combat but I still cant see much use for it.

KI doesn't use it

As far as I could see the speed is about 100 M/s. (I once drifted nexw to another ship and compared our speed)

For the player it is usefoll to evade the bullets of the enemy ( I had a very hard battle yesterday with several M2 - me a M6

)
If the KI would use it, the player had no chance anymore - without the player has big trouble too

@scaseman:

What do you mean:

My game has strafe drive mapped

?
You need to have "Strafe Drive Extension" installed. Does this mean you have the extension installed on your ship and it still doesn't work? As Lord_Dakier said, it sometimes is hard to tell that you're moving at all. It can be seen better if you're near a station or another ship.

"KI" is the German equivalent of "AI".
