Default Re: Some observations

Don't worry about bursting bubbles, since that's not what I was talking about, and I'm not Puke.

What I meant was, if a modder decides to increase the maximum speed to many times more than the current maximum, that will make the current four speed settings available with the keyboard be rather farther apart. So 1/4 speed might be rather too fast to easily manage to pull up alongside a planet in orbit range.

However, you could still use the mouse to select a smaller fractional speed than 1/4.

Still, it seems like there would need to be hard code changes and AI changes before the movement would be much like Newtonian.
