False. Whoever he is he's a funny guy

Top speeds are as follow (For the old ships, haven't done the new ones):

===================================

Following the thrust analysis test results, here are the top speeds observed for every craft.

  1. Icaras - Top Speed 10: 792 km/h
    Piranha - Top Speed 10: 792 km/h
  2. Auricom - Top Speed 9: 789 km/h
    Triakis - Top Speed 9: 789 km/h
  3. Assegai - Top Speed 8: 786 km/h
    EG-X - Top Speed 8: 786 km/h
    Harimau - Top Speed 8: 786 km/h
    Mirage - Top Speed 8: 786 km/h
    Qirex - Top Speed 8: 786 km/h
  4. AG-Systems - Top Speed 7: 784 km/h
    Feisar - Top Speed 7: 784 km/h
    Goteki45 - Top Speed 7: 784 km/h


These tests were also performed on a flat surface, and the results were obtained once the ship had reached it's visible top speed displayed on the speedometer integrated in the ship's heads up display.

From these results, it appears that the top speed is a fixed value depending on the characteristic of the craft.

We are also happy to report that no more shall the steering apparatuses of the ships break down as quickly as before, due to the fact that pilots do not need to lower the nose of the ship constantly, since during our tests we have noted that such a technique no longer has an effect on the reachable speed of the craft by its own means of propulsion.

Study or cornering and armour durability are required to fully assess craft performance.
