Disguise [Cheat]
Fixing the insane slowdown when picking up wares
The reason for the weird interaction with picking up goods and it behaving like a freighter fully loaded is because in the ships physics properties its mass is set to 1 and its inertia are set to 0.5 and drag set to 1 for all but pitch yaw and roll, this does indeed lead to a really nimble ship BUT the moment you pick up anything then its weight is now double that of the ship(or more if you pick up more)

A fix for the creator of this mod would be to increase the physics options accordingly if a player wants to do it lets just assume you know how to extract cat files(if not look up "Getting Started: Tools, Scripting and Modding" on egosoft forums)

Then in the mod files that you extracted look for disguise_macro.xml and edit the physics section to resemble this

<physics mass="24.394">
<inertia pitch="3.214" yaw="3.214" roll="2.572" />
<drag forward="3.547" reverse="14.188" horizontal="13.02" vertical="13.02" pitch="7.739" yaw="7.739" roll="7.739" />
</physics>


It will make it loose its speed to a big degree but this restores the value's to the base ship that was used for this ship from there you can edit the value's what ever way you see fit, for me I like space feeling big so I was fine with the default value's

Also after you chance the value's throw ALL files into the cat tool and save the cat file then if you want to make sure that the file isnt overwritten randomly due to steam workshop updates or anything else like that do the following below

open content.xml and change the ID to something unique and then copy the contents of the folder to a new folder with a similar name(just for the easy of knowing where your mod is) and then unsubscribe from this mod ingame by turning it off(that way you will keep it in your list incase this mod ever gets updated and you want to use the newer version)
