Question about System Ship Movement Delay Milliseconds

[Zarix]

I tried using negative numbers in delay, but it didn't work. The game just gave me an error.

Try turning animation off and setting the delay to 100. That *should* cause a tenth of a second per move delay. Animation off moves ships directly from square to square instead of "smoothing" it, so 10 moves = 1 second. If not, I don't really know what else to try, other than upgrading your drivers. Or using your older system

After some experiments I confirmed that this setting only applies when the animation is active. I got up to 50000 and it didn't slow down.

Nooo, not going back to that old lump of junk

I think I can live with this or go to no animation if I get irritated. The turn processing is very quick now which is a lot more important, especially on huge 20 player, 250 system end game turns!
