Climbrace? Well that may change in the future. Wrecking or damaging your engine will become a big risk like it was in the old days. Just keeping the engine at 103% with WEP won't work anymore, and I really hope servers will keep the open cockpit but combine it with the new complex engine management. Surely, all those fine people who don't check their instruments will drop like flies.

In the future, if someone is running from you, climbing or flying much faster than you and you know the capabilities of his ship compares to yours, take your time, keep you engine sound and cool but make sure he won't have a big energy advantage if he suddenly turns around. He's probably running his max, so take your time, he WILL slow down, either by disabling his WEP by hand or by having a hole in his engine.

But if your opponent has a much better climbrate because of his weight/hp ratio and say, more supercharger stages than you have, disengage unless you know he's a shitty BnZ'er. Mudmovers like the P39 already had a problem, they will have a serious problem.

Knowledge of your and his ship will be increasingly important.
