cant we use the weather effect in a way that there are these smal particals in space? lets say space junk giving people a little more the idea of speed?
though i think its impossible and might give huge frame rates drops. just brainstorming here

There are particles (unless they have been removed ). They just are really small. The easiest way to properly see them is to fly close to the ISD in EFH.

There are several ways to observe this. The two best ones are to
a) put an FS fighter (a space one) in a ground map and see how fast you cross the map, or
b) watch a BattleDirector recording and try to follow a Capital Ship going at full boost.

Short answer, no. Long answer, there's no issue to fix.

EDIT: Though I do believe 1.2 or 1.3 actually did up the speed of fighters a tiny bit.

Please, in future do a little more research, all the problems relating to speed were already stated in this thread and countless others.

Anyways.

The battles are already hard enough to process through your mind. I've battled in my x-wing and tie-fighters around capital ships that had moved close to each other.
Running under a Nebulon B, then shifting up to avoid a gallofree at the speeds they go is pretty tough considering you have to bring in that your ship may be large and you have to clear the ship. And in an a-wing and interceptor, that just gets harder.

Even worse is dogfighting around these. Coming out of one of the 'spirals' with an enemy fighter and facing a Nebulon B is scary, barely twisting your ship to get past the foward section, then having to cut underneath it to avoid the larger section because going out into open space means getting shot at easily is amazingly complicated and often spells death for some.

I believe the speed is fine.

a) sacrifcing shield/ammo supplies in the x-wing vs tie fighter games
b) in both rogue squadron and x-wing vs tie fighter games . closing the s-foils increased speed

but seeing as doing either of those are impossible in the bf2142 engine we'l have to stick with our booster buttons

i'm happy someone else realised the slow ships too

its the same big problem like in all x-wing games ever. the starfighters are damn slow. always i fly over a capital ship and i realise the "speed", i want to exit the ship to push

also i don't like the boost. there has never been a boost in the x-wing games. and it was good like this.
i would prefer if the rebel fighters would be a bit faster and wouldn't have the boost. x-wings should be as fast as tie fighters, but not that agile.

Main reason why it seems slow is because there is nothing to compare you speed against. aka no asteroids or ships usually near you.

I can assure you if you made a asteroid field space map it would be intense.

confirm as bug?
