1083 Gerax Speed, why?

Post by mordachai »

I see this from time to time. I have no idea why this happens - a ship will move at Gerax speed, despite having vastly more powerful hyperdrives.

Ship moving 440K despite having 2.8M engine:

I have seen this before. It is because the ship is part of a fleet which has that as its speed.

If you remove the ship from the fleet, and reissue the move order, it will fly at its maximum speed.

However, ideally, ships not moving together with the fleet would move at their maximum speed instead of the fleet speed.

Yeah - that makes sense - but is a major bug.
This ship was trying to rejoin the fleet. Doing so extra-slow is dysfunctional.

Good catch!
