distance travelled.. noob question

from Stardock Forums

i cant seem to figure out what acually afects my ships distance travelled per turn .. not max distance just each turn is it the engine itself?i know life support is max distance.. but when i see reference to tactical movemnt for engines is that just referring to movemnt in a battle and some type of bonus .,. or does it mean the better engine.. or speed..i have the furthur i move each turn??

just how many squares in space you move per turn is all

Speed has no effect in battles, but on the main map your ships' speeds are 1 + any engines + your civ's speed bonuses.

You can spend ability points for speed bonuses during game setup, and the propulsion tech tree has a few 'milestone' techs that give all your ships +1 speed even if they have no engines. Some techs also give a speed bonus directly, such at the Thalan's Expert Gravity Channeling, or indirectly, such as when Zero G Sports Arenas enable you to build the Gravity Accelerators trade good.

Except base speed is 2 in TA.  (Arceans will show 1 but they have a 1 penalty to speed stock.)
