Remove space-drag-after-burner! This should be a 10 min programming job, and would not require immediate retuning of all the ships. Just let all ships go up to their max afterbuner speed in SCM mode. With how bad master modes is, this will be percieved as a major improvement by the community - even if master modes is technically still bad. With a 10 mins programming change, you can show the community that you take feedback serious. And you have temporarily quelched the complaints so you have peace to develop Master Modes 2.0. Just a suggestion...
