Smurfs are skilled players playing on a noob account. Sometimes this is for a legitamte resason (trying out a new strategy without wanting to look stupid...) but more often than not its to give themselves an unfair advantage e.g. in a PUG match, where captains pick the teams, smurfs are advantaged as the captains will underestimate their skill and so whoever gets the smurf will get a better skilled player than what they and the other captain thought they were getting.

Personally I don't mind losing becuase of noobs. Its fun anyway to teach them stuff. Hate losing becuase of smurfs though. And its nearly impossible to tell the two apart (until the match has started...)

Well, acceleration = force/mass. So the bigger the ship is (= bigger mass) the less acceleration it can generate (with the same power engine) and therefore the less manoverable it is. Mass doesnt change with gravity.
