### Ship Handling

Ship handling is dictated by several keys found in the `[Engine]` block from [equipment](./equipment.md), as well as keys attributed to the `[Ship]` entry itself. The `mass` of a ship attenuates any change in speed and influences behaviour when colliding with other objects. `rotation_inertia` operates in much the same manner, but for turning.

`rotation_inertia` should typically be between 10 to 20% of `angular_drag` to avoid strange behaviour from the autopilot.

Where `linear_drag` = the sum of engine and ship `linear_drag` values:
$Strafe\ Speed = strafe\_force/(linear\_drag)$

$Max\ Turn\ Speed = steering\_torque/angular\_drag$

$Top\ Speed = max\_force/linear\_drag$
$Top\ Speed = max\_force*/linear\_drag$

*Value is defined in an [equipment](./equipment.md) entry.

| explosion_resistance | Defines a factor by which damage caused by explosions is multiplied. Defaults to 1. 0 means no explosion damage is applied ever. |
