Maybe there will be some new 1-nitron quick-setup routes which go at 250 or something, but nothing more than that. Would love to try this out.

Lightweight: -5% mass. Carrying flag makes your terminal velocity 175-200ish. Level 1: -5% mass, level 2: -5% mass, level 3: +10% air maneuverability.

Or would you prefer to continue complaining that entire core game systems are broken, and ask for massive revamps that will never occur. There's no doubt that there are other solutions that could fix the chasing issue. However almost all of those solutions involve sweeping game and system changes that would take months of testing to actually get to an even semi-workable state. I am specifically targetting this solution to the system that's already in place, and therefore attempting to get a fix to the problem that can actually happen soon.
