i copied and improved it from one of the modding tutorials

......just a sec, Ill get you one from a mod pack: : check the bottom:


The entire thing about " Playable" is the display for the player to be able to understand what goes on with the ship ; the relationship between speed, weight and Maneuver abilities :
to adjust one affects the other ( such as : if you take a 10K ton ship and tell it to go 30, , you MUST give it the thrust, but once it gets up to speed: your not going to be able to stop it on a dime to get into a gate.)
(( actually you COULD, if you hit "D" and dock with the gate but thats silly))

so you have to strongly consider the weight you are trying to stop and the thrust amounts you give it:
I had a freighter doing the FoxTrot around my ship for an hour while I first tried to sort out the relationship to control it:)
