Hi all,

It's taken some time, but I've just finished the initial version of the latest article for The Engines Cannae' Take It!

The Starship Mechanics article takes a closer look at how various aspects of starships function in STO, including how speed and turn rates are calculated, and how the various 'Captain' skills affect them.

Hopefully this information will be useful to everyone, although it is a little math-heavy.

    Most interesting. Explains why its pretty much impossible to make a high tier cruiser turn. That is pretty much what I thought was going on rather than the "diminishing returns" thing that I've seen no evidence of existing anywhere else, but glad someone actually went in and tested it all to find the numbers.

    Thanks for the kind words, everyone.

    The article has been updated with some more details on how Stealth Detection Rating appears to be calculated, although I'm still not very clear on how that stat is actually used.

    Another researching masterpiece, BBB. I consider your guides essential for any serious STO player. I'm making it a mandatory read for our new fleet members. Thx so much.
