    - Mass speed penalty for vessels adjusted so once they reach their current max speed vessels can gradually reach their technical max speed.
    The technical max speed increase is shown in the throttle HUD bar in the top orange zone & the Speed meter will also show the crawl to the technical max speed.

    Known:
    - Sometimes the vessel throttle bar can go blank (HUD/UI only issue) after boosting + cruise mode has been used.

    I've finally was able to test this out
    1) It's strange that in space acceleration no isn't linear. Fast until threshold and then slow. This is not how it suppose work. It should be linear until technical max speed
    2) You should not be able to reach technical max speed, only current max speed on planets with atmosphere.

    It seems like the behavior described in the notes. You accelerate normally to the vessel's max speed based on thrust and mass, then much more slowly after that up to the technical limit. Is that not what you observed?

    Both of these are intentional design choices for the game.
