solar winds

Not really on topic, but for those thinking of using solar winds as a means of propulsion in a plugin, the following might be of intereset:

I saw that before, but how would it work in a plug-in? The only way it would really work would be if movement and stuff was the same, but you said that it was because of the stellar winds.

Yes, but it would move slowly, and the graphic would be interesting. I'm not saying it would be super keen, but it might give some people ideas for a race that uses only that kind of tech to get around.

for example, some ships would be faster in systems with more solar winds.

But how could that be implemented in a plug-in?

planets with different quantities of solar wind
ships that use the solar winds more than other

but the speed increase would be little, i guess
