📋 About This Mod
Let's make piloting your ship fun.
Description
Nimble Ships overhauls Starfield's spaceflight to feel faster, sharper, and more responsive. All ships move at higher top speeds than vanilla, with engines now adding directly to max speed. Dogfights and precision maneuvers take skill instead of turtles shooting lasers at each other. Various additional tweaks improve the overall feel of flying your ship.

Additional Information
This is the successor to the Ship Speed Module from my Updated Ship Combat mod. Ships are not as fast compared to USC but will be noticeably faster than vanilla.
I made this for my collection Novafield/ Wabbajack modlist Novafield/README. I simply cannot play with the vanilla ship speed. USC needs a new version of xEdit to be updated for Free Lanes. So, I am going to be creating my own ship combat overhaul entirely in the CK. This is the first installment. Ship speed/ handling improvements.
