space miner bug?

from GalCiv2 Forums
Hi,

I upgraded the space miner with 4 Ion engines but its speed is still 1. Is it a bug or I missed some declared limitation for miner's speed?

The speed of a ship in an asteroid field is always 1. That goes for the Space Miner as well as any other ship (constructor, fighter, ...) You'll see it fly fast in between the asteroid fields.

I think the Space Miner's speed is always 1 in and out of asteroid fields, after it has worked on 1 asteriod field...?

As noted by G-Force, the movement reduction in asteroid fields applies to all ships.

For clarification:

This applies to ALL ships:

When the ship enters an asteroid field, it loses all of its move points ( for example, if it had 3 left, it goes down to zero )
Ships on asteroid fields at the beginning of the turn will only be able to move 1 tile that turn. 

Once you move the ship out of the asteroid field, it regains all of its moves again on the next turn.
