Here's the ships table that explains high-maneuverability from my mod, Shattered Stars. Fighters and bombers fly at 500 m/s, while capital ships move at 350 m/s, as seen in MetalDestroyer77's FreeSpace 2 SCP videos on Youtube, in addition to its semi-newtonian physics. I did not try to mess around my AI profiles; I merely improve them.
