I experienced this also. It is different from turning off ship animation. You do actually see the ships moving. It is just that they are very fast. I had it happen in a game after running it for several hours. I had played for a while, left it going for most of a day, and when I returned, the movement was fast. I played for a while longer, quit the game and shut down the computer. The next day the movement was slow again. I would very much like to know how to get the fast movement. I like to see the animation, but the normal speed is too slow for my liking.
