As of Alpha 1A, the debug menu is no longer accessible. The only metrics available are velocity and evasion. Using the same ship as above, the following can be calculated:
As of Alpha 1A, the debug menu is no longer accessible. The only metrics available are velocity and evasion. Using the same ship as above, the following can be calculated:
* Engine: 269 velocity 269% evasion
* Engine: 269 velocity 269% evasion
* Thruster: 51 velocity In addition it's worth noting that the evasion value does increase when making turns
* Thruster: 51 velocity
