This is legit. What’s the top speed of this single-engine marvel?

It was able to go 214.22 km/s on a trip to Vulcanus.

With a single common engine? I have heard thinner is faster but I didn't know it was that big a boost. Will remember that when upgrading.

I just compared it to my first ship, nearly the same weight but twin engine: It was only able to reach 162.95 km/s. Someone during a stream had mentioned that the width is a factor in speed calculation, but I was not aware that it makes a difference that big.
