<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I defragged the hard drive, and cleaned up useless files...but it was still going slowly. Then, for no apparent reason, it started going fast again! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

I'm pretty sure it'll be back, though...there really ought to be a tried-and-true way to keep the game going fast http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

Re: Crawling ships?

in tac combat, the intermediate solution between teleporting ships and crawling ships is to uncheck ship animation AND fast tac move. The ship will make micro teleports for a square to another, but not too fast that you cant see what they really do, or the detail of torpedoes&direct fire.
