Formula for acceleration. Rendered using Wikipedia's TeX plugin and value-inverted using GIMP to fit Evelopedia's colour scheme.

't_V : Time to accelerate to velocity V in seconds

V_max 

Ship's maximum velocity in m/s

I 

Ship's inertia modifier in s/kg

M 

Ship's mass in kg

e 

Base of natural logarithms

TeX source:

t_V = I \times M \times 10^{-6} \times - \ln (1 - \frac{V}{V_{\rm max}})
