K so i was checking out Mano's video again and started thinkin about the top speed in 2097, seems he was doing about 400Kph when maxed out in the piranha, without using braketapping, if you translate that to Mph to compare with W3O you'll notice that 400Kph = 250Mph (ish), but in all honesty i've very rarely seen a ship in W3O reach 250 Mph, you can get up to the early 200's on the straight at MM and from the jump at P-Mar, but what's caught my interest is that that means there's basically no change in top end speed in over 30 years of competition, I can't help but wonder why, surely 30 years in modern motor sport would constitute a vast change, don't you think, so why not in the future? Here's a quote from the W'O" manual:
So why indeed is there no change? Surely the research, going on day and night as it is, would, in 30 years make a big difference. Why not then I wonder... Why not?Research goes on day and night in the quest to find the perfect race craft, one that will travel further and faster than anything previously made.
