Base Max Speed of Starfighters is too slow
As said above, all ships except for the interceptor fly at a slugs pace, the interceptor base speed is the minimum of what all the other ships should be at, except for the supports maybe.
They end up being so slow that barrage rockets are actively being used against other starfighters with great ease and full stops are still being used widely for "mosquitoing/leeching" on cap ships, even if it ends in death.
all ships should have an increase of at least 50% of their current default max speed, it would also make maneuvers more meaningful and the "optimal maneuver" speed much relevant.
I tend to upgrade all, or at least most, of my ship with speed modifiers to avoid becoming a sitting duck, but even that isnt enough.
And with the speed increase it would be good to increase the blasters default maximum range from 1.000 to 1.200-1.300 to make up with the speed if necessary.
Flying an X-Wing is painfully slower than it should be, and bombers are even worse.
Higher ship speed would help with balancing as it allows players to actually try to be skillful to evade their enemies. And note that i am saying only max speed, acceleration and maneuverability should NOT be increased alongside it, because that would allow the ships mods to be more useful and actually have a point to be used to begin with.
