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

NOTE: loads do not portray best loadouts. It's only used to weigh down the vehicle to see if accel drops.

Hoverbike:

• 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)
• Load = 1xRendor Plasma Gun

Hovercar:

• Empty(Load) + E3 = Spd:12(12),Accel:4(3)
• Empty(Load) + E4 = Spd:13(13),Accel:8(7)
• Load = 2xLineage Plasma Cannon
• Note: ONLY using two Bolter laser cannons does not cause acceleration to drop by one point.

Valkyrie:

• 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)
• Load = 2xLineage Plasma Cannon,3xcargo modules

Hawk:

• Empty(Load) + E5 = Spd:14(14),Accel:3(2)
• Empty(Load) + E6 = Spd:15(15),Accel:6(5)
• Load = 2xLineage Plasma Cannon,1xDisruptor Bomb Launcher
• Note: ONLY using three Bolter laser cannons does not cause acceleration to drop by one point.

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.

Weights:

• Bolter Laser - 50
• Lancer Laser - 80
• Rendor Plasma - 70
• Lineage Plasma - 95
• Janitor Missile - 70
• Prophet Missile - 70
• Disruptor Missile - 120
• Cargo/Pass. Module - 50
• Small Shield - 80
• Fusion Powerfuel - ?? (irrelevant?)
