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?

    I don’t think you can in Starfield, or at least I didn’t see options for it. Elite Dangerous ruined me on space flight, I always look in game bindings now for disabling the dampeners and also a button that immediately cuts all throttle, didn’t find either in Starfield’s bindings

      I read about it, apparently it’s RB on controller or LAlt on keyboard. Haven’t tried it.

      No cut throttle button though, hopefully a mod will do that if Bethesda doesn’t.

          I tried it, doesn’t seem to be a toggle. Gonna be tough to fly that way. I like the shooting in Starfield but don’t like the flying as much.
