Thread: Is ship Handling based off of Current Mass or Total Available Mass?

I posted this in the Pilot forum as well to see if anyone noticed what i did.


Iwould like to know if anyone has noticed, but my ships handle the same weather i have the ship loaded down or completly empty. My Y-wing Long probe with 160k mass loaded down with 140k handles the same as if it had just the engine on board.


Any testing in this would be great, because what i have found is it doesnt matter. I think it should matter if your only flying along with 100k mass it shouldnt handle like its 160k.


I know it has to do with engines, but in a controled test ill try it tonight using the same engine and load it to the gills and then dry weight with just the engine. If anyone else wants to try this it would be appreciated.
