Multiple tiers of "official" ship configs

[jukibom]

I'd like to expand the current leader board with some additional tiers, to both make the game a little more beginner-friendly and also expand the skill ceiling with a ridiculous config.

The configs should work with existing maps, I don't have the capacity to build config-specific maps unless we REALLY have to.

• Beginner config
• Expert config
• (stretch) anything-goes-within-reason config
• UI to support selections (per-level? as part of the time trial menu? on the leaderboard? something else?)

Contender for expert config with a ridiculously high speed, rapid boost charge with higher boost cost

{
  "angularDrag": 0.0,
  "boostCapacitorPercentCost": 80.0,
  "boostCapacityPercentChargeRate": 16.0,
  "boostMaxSpeedDropOffTime": 12.0,
  "boostRechargeTime": 1.5,
  "boostSpoolUpTime": 1.0,
  "drag": 0.0,
  "inertiaTensorMultiplier": 175.0,
  "latHMultiplier": 0.5,
  "latVMultiplier": 0.7,
  "mass": 200.0,
  "maxAngularVelocity": 7.0,
  "maxBoostSpeed": 2000.0,
  "maxSpeed": 1400.0,
  "maxThrust": 220000.0,
  "minUserLimitedVelocity": 250.0,
  "pitchMultiplier": 1.0,
  "rollMultiplier": 0.3,
  "throttleMultiplier": 1.0,
  "thrustBoostMultiplier": 3.25,
  "torqueBoostMultiplier": 2.0,
  "torqueThrustMultiplier": 0.08,
  "totalBoostRotationalTime": 6.0,
  "totalBoostTime": 5.0,
  "yawMultiplier": 0.8
}

Possible contender for the beginner config, lower top speed and slower boosting with a buff to manoeuvrability and lateral / vertical thrust under boost and a lower boost cap cost

{
  "angularDrag": 0.0,
  "boostCapacitorPercentCost": 45.0,
  "boostCapacityPercentChargeRate": 2.5,
  "boostMaxSpeedDropOffTime": 20.0,
  "boostRechargeTime": 5.0,
  "boostSpoolUpTime": 1.0,
  "drag": 0.0,
  "inertiaTensorMultiplier": 175.0,
  "latHMultiplier": 0.7,
  "latVMultiplier": 0.85,
  "mass": 700.0,
  "maxAngularVelocity": 7.0,
  "maxBoostSpeed": 850.0,
  "maxSpeed": 550.0,
  "maxThrust": 220000.0,
  "minUserLimitedVelocity": 250.0,
  "pitchMultiplier": 1.0,
  "rollMultiplier": 0.3,
  "throttleMultiplier": 1.0,
  "thrustBoostMultiplier": 2.0,
  "torqueBoostMultiplier": 2.0,
  "torqueThrustMultiplier": 0.08,
  "totalBoostRotationalTime": 7.0,
  "totalBoostTime": 9.0,
  "yawMultiplier": 0.8
