Max speed based on service level?

Post by phkb »

In trunk, I'm assuming the max speed been reduced based on service level because when I load a save game in 1.80 and launch my max speed in 350, but when I load the same game file in 1.81 my max speed is 180. Is that the service level coming into effect?

Also, I'm docked at a tech level 11, so should I see some sort of maintenance option in the F3 screen? When does this option become available?

That's unusual. Nothing has been changed about how service level operates since well before 1.80. If your maintenance level was below 85, then a TL 11 station should offer repairs, so it must be at least that.

player.ship.maxSpeed is writable in 1.81 - maybe you have an OXP installed which is writing to it? (which of course has no effect in 1.80)

(How are you measuring maxSpeed? If it's the console, player.ship.serviceLevel may be of use)

I was using the Combat MFD to measure my speed. I'll try disabling all OXP's and see if that's the issue.

Ah, my bad. I had been playing with the rescaling experiment a while back, but I'd left the OXP in the trunk addons folder. Thanks for the pointer!
