Engine damage to raid starships?

[Sarnian]

I'd always been under the impression that raid starships, having infinite engines, were immune to engine damage from ion cannons etc. Mine have had their speed reduced to 1 and can't be repaired by an mrs or engineer. Is this right, or a bug? I'm on the latest (non-beta) release.

It sounds like maybe you sent them way out in the space outside the immediate planet area. That causes the speed of any human ships to drop, to prevent thnincentive for wildgoose chases, etc. If you bring your ship back inward, he'll pick up speed again. If that doesn't seem to be it, you couldpost a save. But if it was eminent damage, your speed would go to zero, not one, and would show engine damage, etc.

i don't think its outside the planet immediate area when it can be reached to be repaired , and being reached by a MRS with no reports from him of any speed-losses could be another proof

X was right -as soon as I saw the post the obviousness of the problem hit me!

Sorry Guys!
 

[Frozen Critical]

which problem? , there's sense saying that you fixed the problem , but no one in the world knows what problem is it , and half of us here(i think?) learn from trail and error

Quite right Frozen -more apologies! 

X4000 was correct in his assumption a couple of posts ago that I'd strayed too far from the planet and hit the  speed limit (I'd just upgraded, so this restriction was new to me).

The annoying thing was that I'd read the release notes, then promptly forgotten about the speed limit!
