Thread: Ideal Mass on Firespray

I just bought myself a firespray, and it's time to loader her up. But I was wondering, before I spend money on parts and take my loot off my vendor, is the Firespray still flyable at its high mass (about 210k?). If not, what would be the ideal mass on it?


Thanks guys.

No performance benefits for not using all the mass, so stuff her up.

/agree



This isn't atmospheric flight, so fill 'er up (don't have to jettison fuel tanks upon engaging!). The more death-dealing goodies you can cram in there, the better!

Which will never, ever, make sense to me in any realistic fashion considering the actual NASA space shuttle needs to jettison mass to make itself more capable in space.


However, being that this is a game and it is game mechanics.......

What do you think the chassis PYR values simulate? Just too much calculation involved to do it on actual used mass so they have a fixed number assuming an always topped up chassis.
