Max speed only 30?!?

[CW]

I've noticed that a destoryer with a speed of 30 and an escort with a speed of 45 departed the same place at the same time travelled exactly the same distance after a turn! Am I correct that the max practical speed in the game is only 30?!?

That would make sense if the most a ship can move in a single day is one square. This is likely only going to happen to you in a simultaneous game. In turn based you probably won't see this. He probably never considered that people would make mods to allow ships to move that fast.

If you gave both ships the same movement order by shift-clicking them, they will stay together for the first turn's movement; if you ordered them to a destination more than 30 sectors away, they'll separate on the second move.
