    I cannot embed imagebin links so i'm just pasting it here.

    The bug is, when I use turbo on shooter, it's speed goes to 1.32
    While when use the turbo on defender, itsi speed goes to 1.33
    The turbo is same, no other items increase the speed of any of ships then why the speed is different? Due to significant digits?

    Second link didn't work for me but it could just be math, the turbo increases your speed by a prercentage through a math formual that isn't all that straightforward. So it could be just how the math works once you get your turbo up a bit it will max the speed out on all of your ships and you won't have to worry about it.

    Try reloading it

    Yeah, I know what you're saying. But the point is, if the turbo is same, and both ships have same base speed and same max speed (not sure about this ) then why is there a difference? My most probable guess is significant digits

    Probably a rounding thingy, both shooter and defender have a stated base speed of .92. However, while shooter caps out at 1.5, defender caps out at 1.42.
