Make your ships move faster?
« on: October 24, 2009, 02:40:50 pm »
Is there any way to make your ships move faster while on a planet?

So far, when I group my ships together, they move at about 10 speed (the speed of the slowest one) to each destination.  While I realize I can "unlock" them, that's still not going to make the slow ones move any more quickly, and I want to have my whole force when I'm attacking.

Yes, I know about Fast and Dangerous Mode or whatever, that's not what I mean.  I mean is there a way to teleport your ships on a planet (not between planets) or otherwise increase their movespeed significantly.

I know the transport is one option but its speed is 12, really not that fast.

Sorry for the noob question.

Try speeding up the whole game. Hit the + and - buttons to increase the speed. You only need +1 speed. There's no significant/noticeable increase after that.

Thank you very much that's the response I was looking for.

Can the speed increase be done in multiplayer too?

Yes, that can also be done in multiplayer, but it will increase the load on the network, so depending on your connection you may not be able to push it past a certain point.
