Newcomer / Intro Stats on maneuverability of ships?

[Enakaji]

Hello fellow CMDRs,

I've just recently upgraded to a Cobra MK III and have to say, I absolutely love how that ship feels compared to the ones I've flown before, even though it's a gas guzzler, especially when compared to the Adder on all Level D Equipment (the Cobra uses 11 times the amount of fuel for the same trip). Especially the directional thrusters seem to have alot more punch on the Cobra compared to ships like the Adder, Hauler, Eagle or even the Viper. So my question is, is there any Info in the stats of a ship that tells how much thrust the directional thrusters produce at max?

No, although I presume the weight of the ship is a factor too since the Eagle is the most manoeuvrable ship but surely the Type 9 has/needs much more powerful attitude thrusters.

They did say something about making more numerical specs in an upcoming update. Perhaps turning circle at x m/s would be a good indicator of manoeuvrability.

Well, thats one thing I found really interesting. The Eagle seemed to take a bit longer to react to the use of the directional thrusters while the Cobra reacted quicker to it, but on the other hand, the Cobra also took a lot longer to react to counterthrust due to its higher tonnage, while the eagle doesn't really need that much counterthrust to stop it from "sliding". Thats one thing I really love about this game, you can really feel the weight of a ship (reminds me alot of the good old days, playing Jumpgate, trying to land a fully loaded Tow).
