I am also having a major slow down effect in my space. After reading the forum I thought I might be in Yor space but I was not. I created a complicated ship with 3 warp drives. However, my ship only goes 1 space per turn. When I bring up the details screen on the ship, the three warp drives are on the picture of my ship however, I cannot scroll down to see the warp drives in the component list even though the little dot is there that says I can scroll down. What Gives? I am clueless as to how this happened and When I reload the saved game the effect still happens. I am a newb to the stardock site so any help would be appreciated. I am running an updated version of the game with an fresh update of my video drivers ( I read the warning on the box). Thanks in advance. In addition I cannot post a new thread in this site only reply. Grr...
