[Question] How to increase Travel engine speed?
I've been looking in the engines, components files etc, and can't find the value for increasing the top speed of the travel engines. Could someone please explain, thanks in advance.

Re: [Question] How to increase Travel engine speed?
I figured it was the Engines file, however which value needs to be increased? As an example, here is the string for the Teran all around engine for travel. <travel charge="20" thrust="33" attack="15" release="1.5" />
is it one of those values? And/or which needs to be changed? Thanks again.

In x4 it's a little different than in Rebirth.
Look in folders
assets\units\size_l\macros\
xl | l | m | s
parameter
try to change
Example
ship_arg_l_miner_solid_01_b_macro.xml
Substitute the values you need.

<physics mass="780.498">

Re: [Question] How to increase Travel engine speed?
For adjusting the travel drive speed yes.
travel charge="##" is how long it takes for the engine to spool up and activate the travel drive.
thrust="##" is the engine power and this ties in with, as alexalsp pointed out, the physics section of each individual ship and adjusting the drag of the ship also effects the top speed of the travel drive.
attack="##" is the acceleration of the engine for it to reach top speed in travel mode.
release="##" is the deceleration of the engine when you drop out of travel speed.

@alexalsp, @Dr Reed, thank both of you. I was able to figure it out now with your explanations. I appreciate the two of you.
