Hang on, the tritium upgrade definitely has an effect of the sapphire. I think it only does the acceleration and not top speed, but there's definitely an effect.

Simplest demonstration: Get a sapphire fitted with a tritium upgrade. Stop somewhere. Now hold down the forward and right buttons. Observe the nearly circular movement of the craft.

Now come to a stop again and turn off the tritium drive. Hold forward and right again, and watch your craft head off in a spiral pattern.

Hmm... I think it's the thrust then but I can't confirm. Can anybody do so?

And I've been running tests on the how much you have to load to overload your ship... It turns out there is a specific value that's a function of *both* the weight of your cargo and the equipment you have installed. I have absolutely no idea what this formula is but it certainly varies quite a bit...
