Question for Devs: Turbo thrust

"There is a separate thrust figure for turbo. It was just always the same as the normal thrust figure for ages, and that's no longer the case."

So... Which ships have different turbo thrust than their normal thrust? Would it be very difficult to update the ship's stats screens to show both thrusts?

the mining marauder has a higher turbo thrust than its regular thrust. 240/(200?)

I would bet that the behemoth has a turbo thrust of somewhere in the 900 - 1200 range, because it accelerates from 0 to 60 in ~half the time when using turbo as it does under regular acceleration.

Yeah, something along those lines would be my guess, I just would rather not be guessing. ;-)

Behemoth has about 1500kN turbo thrust.

(Yes, the Behemoth has 1500kN, as I said last night in-game), I don't know why turbo isn't displayed in the buy menu at present, but we should add it.

If you're going to add turbo thrust to the buy menu, might you not also fix all N to kN as well?
