As far as max. velocity for a car being 2x or 3x. I perfer 3x but can easily
live with 2x. As for ArkAngel's statement that RBB varies the factor
sometimes 2x, 2.5x, or 3x. Isn't it true that this depends on the vehicle
type. (i.e. car are 3x, trucks are 2.5x, and larger vehicles are 2x.) I
don't have my book with me but I believe this is true.
In "chew on this" Carter recalls that I once suggested the our car where to
massive, and asked if we need to change the mass of our engines. No, I don't
think we do. When I posted that we were talking about engines with powers of
400,000 to 800,000 (aproximately 600 to 900 kg). Now we are talking powers of
80,000 to 200,000 W (approximately 300 to 450 kg). What we may have to do is
lower the mass of the chasis. I don't have a copy of the chasis handy so I'm
not sure.
Quicktek proposed the formula (max. vel. - vel.)/handling. This might work, I
haven't tried any real numbers so I can't judge. But here's another idea.
Theere has been talk about using tables. I think this is the perfect place to
use a table. I have included a proposed table at the end of this post. It is
somewhat lengthy, sorry.
As for Quicktek's deceleartion formula vel./handling, it has one major flaw.
The vehicle would never stop. I'll show you. Start with a handling of 3
travelling at 80 m/ct (60 mph)
80/3 = 27 53m/ct after 1 ct
53/3 = 18 35m/ct after 2 ct
35/3 = 12 23m/ct after 3 ct
23/3 = 8 15m/ct after 4 ct
....
at 8 ct the vehicle is still moving at 3m/ct. I really don't think we need a
deceleration formula.
Quicktek (sorry I seem to be picking on you today, no flame intended) also
suggests formulas for the economy of elec. and impelec. engines:
elec. 42500/mass km/l
imp. elec. 44300/mass km/l
The prolbem here is that batteries aren't usually measured in liters. How
about :
elec. 1000/mass km/PF
imp. elec. 1500/mass km/PF
Just my suggestions, any other ideas?

This is my proposed acceleration table. I put it together awhile back. It is
based on a P/M x3 for max. velocity. If we decide to use 2x, it will take me
about 15 min. to revise the table. As for the way the chart is set up, the
row across the top is combat turns. The column down the left is P/M. To read
the table first determine the P/M of the vehicle. Assuming the vehicle is
accelarating for a velocity of 0, follow the row accross. (i.e for P/M = 80,
vel after 1 ct <= 66m/ct, 2 ct <= 93m/ct, 3 ct <= 114m/ct, etc
