I've added glide to all GTVA ships, but for balance purposes I've been using +Max Glide Speed: to limit its velocity. However, this only seems to work when I activate glide while thrusting. Afterburning for a while, releasing the thrust, and pressing the glide button will make the ship keep whatever speed it had at the time.
This is the code for one of the ships, but all of them have this problem.

+Tech Description:
XSTR("The aging Ulysses is one of the oldest fighters in the GTVA's arsenal. It was developed in the early days of the Alliance by a team of
Terran and Vasudan scientists, and its superior dogfighting abilities earned it a spot in the Alliance's fighter corps for decades.
Production of the Ulysses has been discontinued, but the sheer number of available spaceframes mean that every major fleet possesses a large
number of them. It remains popular with civilians and pirates.", -1)

I'm also getting debug build crashes for some reason on the test mission I set up. However, this bug has existed since I added glide and occurs in all the other missions. I'm thinking it might be an engine problem, unless I tabled something wrong.
Debug log attached anyway.
Using 3.7.0 Final.
