field guide updated post-drag-audit: missile section now pre-announces the SPEED DROP (drag governor restored -- LRM ~550/SRM ~775 terminals vs the old dragless 3000+; framed as the pod's real feel, confirmation-worthy) and the stale 'Streak speed authentic' claim softened (that corpus measured the dragless model); SRM range-pip era question added (manual prints 450 x3, content authors 800 -- revision-dating question, display-only either way)

   Presentation deliberately differs: we draw the full ripple of N

 CHANGING IN THE NEXT BUILD -- AND WHAT TO WATCH
+  MISSILES SLOW DOWN, AND THIS IS THE ORIGINAL'S SPEED. The audit
+  found the original governs every missile with air drag that caps
+  its top speed -- an LRM tops out near 550, an SRM near 775. Our
+  rounds had no drag: an LRM was leaving its burn at over 3000,
+  five times the machine's speed, and flying nearly twice as far
+  downrange. Next build restores the governor. Missiles will feel
+  heavier, arcs will read slower, and long shots will take
+  noticeably longer to arrive -- that is the pod's real feel, not a
+  nerf. If missile flight FINALLY looks like you remember, say so;
+  that confirmation is worth as much as a bug report.

   The bystander gap. The original's rounds swept everything in the

   - Do you remember SRM racks that fired FEWER missiles than their
     name -- a 4-tube "SRM6", a 2-tube "SRM4"? Or LRM10s/LRM15s that
     hit noticeably harder on one chassis than another?
