That may be somewhat more realistic than it seems - yes, objects don't have a maximum speed per se, but there is a hard limit for rockets using reaction mass: they can go no faster than the velocity of the mass they're throwing out, whether it be chemicals or ions.

Thus, your thruster pack? May just be -very low velocity-, to fit in with how crap the rest of the equipment is.

In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
A stately pleasure-dome decree
Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
Through caverns measureless to man
Down to a sunless sea
