So i guess there speed limits now

Anyone notice that there is now speed limits inside and just a bit outside of stations now? Saw it after watching E3 trailer and E3 Demo. A lakon at full throttle only goes 65m/s inside a station. And i saw the Cobra at full throttle. All pips in engines. Only goes 136m/s

No more insane speeding inside stations i guess :D

I'm okay with speed limits, but I don't like them taking away control of my ship. Make it illegal to speed. Provide a warning, then fines. Consequences, not restrictions.

Doesn't bother me much. Think in Formula 1 there's already a real-life automatic speed limiter for cars coming in and out of the pits. Would rather it take me an extra 5-6 seconds to leave a station than get annoying fines and criminal charges.

I don't mind a speed limit too much so long as the station rotation glitching is fixed because it's the only reason I boost through the entrance/exit :D

It doesn't always help though.

Got close, lined up straight in the centre just after a glitch, hit the throttle to get though quick..... a blink and I'm crashing face first into the wall 50m to the left of the entrance :eek:

"The player’s throttle will limit itself to the speed limit, although the player can overrule the limiter and speed if they want to"

How would that work with a HOTAS? So I'm at full speed and the ship auto-slows, how do I speed up again!? :p

I think what you're seeing is that when deployed, landing gear and cargo scoops will limit the ships top speed to 50% of what it could be.

nope ! ;)
It is up to the driver on whether to speed through the pits(and get fined) or not. They have to physically press the pit speed limiter to enable it.

Speed limits

* For a set radius around a space station the player must adhere to a set speed limit
* Being observed breaking the speed limit can incur a fine from the stations’ faction
* The player’s throttle will limit itself to the speed limit, although the player can overrule the limiter and speed if they want to

Those rules are brilliant. : )

Probably just change the throttle setting on the HOTAS - I would expect that if the physical throttle is not moved then the game will stick to the speed limit.

I don't even understand what you said! :D

Mike's probably cleared up the slowdown that was mentioned so maybe it's moot, but...

If I was at full throttle and the game stuck to the speed limit (i.e. slowed me down when I got within the speed limit zone) then how could I override that and speed up? My throttle would already be at it's physical limit.
