the 'Maximum speed' for boosters is not calculated on fuel, but on thrust.
Also, I've hit over 650 in a Colonial Stealth Ship on BSG core.

Ship Acceleration GA limits your maximum speed cashto.

I had to try this. Got to 561 mps with a dreg hvy int / boost 3 / ship speed GA. Boosted across three sectors and through 2 alephs. Didn't think to ditch my weapons and CMs, might've gone faster without them.
Ship agility GA made no difference (no surprises there), but later I got ship accel GA and topped off around 500 mps instead.

i think apochboi said 10% gain in ecceleration = 10% loss in top end speed.
for that GA

Only way to get the fastest speed is to hit a powerup when your fuels abot to run dry

What is the speed of an unloaded scout being rammed by a friendly int going at max speed?
- what do you mean, a belter or a dreg /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
What is the speed of a LRM? - Can you out run one?
side note: In the old days, a giga hvy int was really fast.

Heh a Battlestar can side thrust at 100. Go figure. /rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roll:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />

I reached 200+ mps in a belter cruiser on old MS core.
PS:
It was a special map..
PPS:
Alephs were less than 500 m away from each other, so I could hold the speed boosts after leaving an aleph

Guys guys, you're not thinking big enough here. Try getting someone to ram you too - I bet if you time it right you can go even faster.
