Engine Stats:

• Standard (E1)- $1000, X2Y2, Spd:10, Wt:75
• Deluxe (E2)- $1500, X2Y2, Spd:11, Wt:100
• Sports (E3)- $2000, X2Y2, Spd:12, Wt:140
• Turbo (E4)- $3500, X2Y4, Spd:13, Wt:190
• Elite (E5)- $5000, X4Y4, Spd:14, Wt:240
• Special (E6)- $7000, X4Y4, Spd:15, Wt:180

Hoverbike: Wt=100kg

• Empty(Load) + E1 = Spd:14(14),Accel:5(4)
• Empty(Load) + E2 = Spd:15(15),Accel:10(7)
• Empty(Load) + E3 = Spd:16(16),Accel:10(10)

Hovercar: Wt=700kg

• Empty(Load) + E3 = Spd:12(12),Accel:4(3)
• Empty(Load) + E4 = Spd:13(13),Accel:8(7)
  • more than 110kg from clean, acceleration will drop by 1 point (using SD Turbo)

Valkyrie: Wt=3000kg

• Empty(Load) + E4 = Spd:13(13),Accel:2(2)
• Empty(Load) + E5 = Spd:14(14),Accel:4(4)
• Empty(Load) + E6 = Spd:15(15),Accel:10(9)
  • more than 20kg from clean, acceleration will drop by 1 point (using SD Special)
  • accel will decrease again if vehicle weighs over 3550kg (using SD Special)

Hawk: Wt=5000kg

• Empty(Load) + E5 = Spd:14(14),Accel:3(2)
• Empty(Load) + E6 = Spd:15(15),Accel:6(5)
• more than 150kg from clean, acceleration will drop by 1 point (using SD Special).

Trends:

• TOP SPEED does not drop!
• having the best engine with the best weapon loadout almost always will drop the acceleration down by one point.
• using multiple small shields on large terran craft can sometimes drop acceleration values again by 1 point.
