Ships locked at 5 PC/WK speed?

April 27, 2008 1:07:03 AM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums
When I tried to create a very fast moving scout and finally built it, it's speed was much lower than I thought it should.

In the ship designer window, it's speed was around 27 PC/WK.  A bit extreme, but I was planning it as an emergency defense for my extremly long border.  Immense maps are fun!
However, when I finally built the ship its speed was a hogish 5 PC/WK.  A single engine could do that, let alone the 3 or 4 engines on that ship.

Tested this alittle further; dedicated a ship to moving as fast as it can.  37 PC/WK was all the rage.  Built it, and its speed was also a granny 5 PC/WK.


So; why is there a max limit on the speed?  Is there a way to modify this?  Any bad things that will happen if I do this?

You are almost certainly a victim of the "speed limit" mega event. Yes, it's exactly like it sounds - no ship can move faster than 5 pc/week. You got a pop-up notce about it, but forgot about it. Chances are it happened far enough back that even illegal time travel (loading an old autosave) won't help you. You'll have to gut it out or give up, I'm afraid.

On the plus side, if you get the gravity boosters trade good (from zero g arenas entertainment tech) you can get your 5 pc/wk speed without any engines at all, allowing maximum weapons loads.

Yup, sounds like the speed limit mega-event, one of my favorites. The galaxy just got a lot bigger, and a lot better armed.

Is there a way to mod it out of the save files? Or are they encrypted? (Still trying to find those pesky files myself!)

I doubt it. I've never had this event, but it sounds horrifically painful. Does it affect the speed boost granted by military bases?
