Default Crawling ships?

I recently started up SEIV (non-Gold), and the ships in my game started moving pretty slow - I could follow a ship's every square of movement; before the problem started, I'd see a ship moving from one place to another, not in much detail, but faster.

I tested this in combat, and it turns out everything that moves - fighters, missiles, enemy ships - were all moving slowly .

My question is, is there a way to speed up how fast ships/missiles/fighters move? I don't want to turn off all movement animation and just see a ship teleport from here to there - I would like to see some movement, but faster.

This may be a problem with my system settings (running Windows ME, 700 Mhz Celeron, 128 MB Memory)...or, it could be a setting in SE IV I need to change. Any help would be appreciated, thanks

know the feeling dingocat, it also used to move pretty slow for me, and it does right now aswell.

i dont think someone came up with an effective solution, but aint sure.

From what I remember it was a bunch of High tech voodoo involving winmodems and such.

I have a P3 600Mhtz / 128MB RAM and Windows ME. They work fine. I'm guessing it is the video card. Might look for newer drivers.

There is a setting under options in tactical combat that speeds up movement. click on options when in tactical combat and then check fast tactical.
