In reality, there is (almost) no force to reduce speed in space.

It was quite unituitive to me in the beginning that when I boost the spaceship, it works lke a car on earth rather than a spaceship. I'd have liked the spaceship to continue to gain speed when either the boost was applied or you continue to throttle the engine. They could have kept a fuel limit to keep the speed in check.

What are your thoughts on this? Would you have liked this to be more based in reality or prefer the familiar car based speed/acceleration that's in the game?

Yeah I think that's the basis for that decision as well. They already have simulation in letting us assign powers to different components, this addition would have felt like the real thing to me!

Definitely, someone will make a mod. Alas, I'm on Xbox.

Personally what would you prefer? I'm trying to gauge the sentiment in this community

Xbox supports mods. It won’t support everything, especially mods that require a script extender, so hopefully you’ll be able to benefit from a more accurate space navigation mod at some point.

Oh, I didn't know that. That's going to be fun!

Oh also mods typically disable achievements.

That's fine, if they are good :)

Personally I prefer the arcade-y feeling for that kind of game.
