I'm taking at Elite Sentinel from the Antigone Shipyard and applying the "High Preset', which gives it the Combat Mk3 engine.
The Mk3 Combat Engine (ARG) comes with 4488 m/s Boost Thrust according to the encyclopedia. The formula appears to the same for max speed.
Code: Select all
Max Boost Speed = Max Boost Thrust / Drag
The Ship Statistics in the build screen tells me that the Mk3 gives me 236 m/s speed and 1,884 m/s boost speed. So I refactor to solve for drag.
Code: Select all
Max Thrust (561 kN) / Max Speed (236 m/s) = 2.377118644
Max Boost Thrust (4488 kN) / Max Boost Speed (1884 m/s) = 2.382165605
As you can see the Drag factor for each doesn't appear to match, it's close I'm clearly missing something. Could anyone point me in the right direction?
