Agree with the rest of your points though.
As speed is not really an issue in high speed classes, I think his suggestion holds some merit. If they make some changes to the speed and make it so it has some kind of impact, then that is a whole different issue.

As the game stands now, a Feisar ship can be quicker than an Icaras ship on some tracks. and besides, there are plenty of chances to absorb weapons to replenish shields.

Also, it can be interesting to add a slipstream effect to the game
