Ships Corsair max boost speed

Its limited to 600ms....

Whatever you do, even almost full stripped.

To my knowledge its the first ship thus limited.

Bug or design ?

Anyway I was hoping that the "Clipper Killer" was faster and more maneuvrable than the predessor...

Quite the downer in my opinion.

Correct me if I'm wrong but the thruster minimum mass doesn't say anything about max boost speed, or the iClipper wouldn't go 640, right?

That's as arbitrary a number as the mass lock factor of 7. So FD could very well make the Corsair's max faster, especially with a c7 thruster.

Given that a lot of very experienced players noticed this unusual limitation, and nobody has come forward with a "this is normal, the same thing happens with (some other existing ship) as well" (at least that I have seen), it would seem to me that this limit appears to be unique to the Corsair. Unless nobody has ever noticed the same limitation in some other ship?

Does anybody with a deeper knowledge of the inner workings of ship stats know what's happening here, or is this indeed a completely unique setting with the Corsair that is not happening with any other ship?

Although I believe the Corsair is already unique in that it's the only medium ship that supports class 7 thrusters. All the others have class 6 or smaller (I just checked.) Maybe the limit has always been there, this is just the first time that a medium ship hits it?

The limit for the minimum mass is normal, we usually just don't have ships with such a high minimum mass due to oversized thrusters that the speed doesn't go down fully loaded.
What's unusual is is that we have a ship with oversized thrusters and a lower hull mass than the Clipper be 40 m/s slower in a minimum mass outfit (which is every outfit for the Corsair).

The same thing happens with the Anaconda but it's at 400m/s not 600. People noticed but people might think that 600 on a medium is reasonable.
