  Plenty of space games have real Newtonian physics.

    My max speed is 199. No mods, no boost. I’ve read this 150 limit thing before and was confused why my ship was faster.

  Elite Dangerous does. I forget what they're called, but there's a toggle keybind that lets you turn the stabilizers or whatever off so that if you throttle up and then cut the throttle you'll continue moving infinitely in that direction until you turn the stabilizers back on or thrust in a different direction.

  It lets you do wildly badass shit like boosting past someone, cutting throttle and stabilizers, spinning around, and blasting them as you fly backwards and they're still trying to turn around.

    I guess that’s turning off the inertial dampeners, I heard Starfield lets you do that but I haven’t tried it. But yeah the flight model of ED is far better.

      I don't think you can in Starfield, or at least I didn't see options for it. Elite Dangerous ruined me on space flight, I always look in game bindings now for disabling the dampeners and also a button that immediately cuts all throttle, didn't find either in Starfield's bindings

        I read about it, apparently it’s RB on controller or LAlt on keyboard. Haven’t tried it.

  It’s not exactly difficult to program. The only reason they would have done it this way is because they think it feels better to control. Realistic space physics results in a lot of crashing into things, or more commonly flying past them, which can result in frustration.

    Yeah in Elite Dangerous it’s amazing how fast you can overshoot something at the speeds needed to traverse a solar system in minutes.

  Outer wilds had this. I often die due to speeding up too much hahahah.
