I can't resist:
"Yawl accelration" is when Texans talk real fast LOL (Get it? "Y'all acceleration"?)
I forget, but I think yaw is how fast you turn...

It is important but not as much as it used to be.Yaw maximum rate is how mast your ship turns left and right. Yaw acceleration rate is how fast you get up to that yaw speed and how much you have to counter steer to stop swinging when you come off the stick. That acceleration rate used to be unique to the engine and you would get it when you put it in your ship. Towards the end of beta they changed the system so now the axis acceleration speeds are tied to the chassis, not the engine. A Y-Wing is gonna have the same acceleration speeds no matter what engine you put in it. The acceleration rates on an engine will change based on what chassis you put it in. For example if your engine has Roll Pitch and Yaw accel speeds of 300 and you put it into your Y-Wing they would change to 180. Put the same engine in an A-Wing and they would change to 500. These numbers are just for demonstration of course, to show that an A-Wing is more agile than a Y-Wing. There's probabaly a post around somewhere that gives the real handling stats of each ship.
