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

V_t 

Velocity after time t in m/s

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:

V_t = V_{\rm max} \times (1 - e^{\frac{-t \times 10^6}{I \times M}})
