EH i'm not so sure about speed intervals since every ship has a different speed...
and that would be alot of work for SDE... that also means there would be alot of
bugs.

Instead of having the speed reduce to a certain speed (possibly set by player)...
Just set it back to the max speed BEFORE Over Heat. That way, you can run OH
when you need to, and click the button or hotkey to turn down the speed to save
your OH.

As for the hot key or the button. Have a button near the engine speed dile that will
turn OH off. or have a hot key that the player can set and hit to turn the OH off.

Because pressing the V key only works so well... and when you have to try to
manually lower your speed, it takes your attention off the battle. Also, sometimes,
you may think your going max speed before OH, but your actually in OH... even
though the dile isnt in the red. (This is evident with the new OH bar)

I recc... I hope they add this soon.

Great idea!

Elliot, you really are 2 lazy. Please stop being lazy enough for long enough to at least
read this short suggestion. He wants the button to change speed to directly below the
OH speed so it won't be used up.

i agree your idea~ recommend

u got my recc :D

The entire point of the suggestion is: You push the key, and it brings you to the highest
non-overheat speed.

If you're at 0 speed or anything in between, it brings you to full
If you're in OH, it brings you down to non-OH speed.

Simple
Elegant
Perfect suggestion.
I was close to creating a topic for this idea myself, and then I saw this one.

Recommended.

If your at cruising speed and the hotkey puts you there but yet ur still OHing wouldnt
that be a bad thing to recc. I mean speed is not a problem in this game if your able to
see your speed gauge.

I actually like this idea

Yes. Too many times I'm at my "cruising speed" yet I'm still using overheat. Rec.
