Well, now that' we've got all of this beautiful evidence pointing to
Electric cars having better capabilities than IC engines by the time SR occurs,
anybody wanna explain to me why the people at FASA decided that electric
engines go slower? OR do we just wanna blow off that part of the RBB, and have
our electric engines work better? We'd be losing some consistency this way,
but we might ultimately end up with a more true to life system... That being
the case, I'd hafta say give the Electric Engines a 2x multiplier for power,
and leave the gas ones at say 1.25... This way we'd have smaller electric
engines which do more work than the gas ones. However, I'd say there'd hafta
be a reason to take the gas ones instead... Hmmm... perhaps when outside of
GridLink areas Electric tend to run out of energy faster? Or just give
electric a really crappy fuel efficiency in comparison? I'm open to ideas
here...
