Re: OT: How fast is light speed in SE4 terms? -> Maximum possible speed? -> insanity
There are only 30 days in a simultaneous game month.
Ships can only move 30 in simultaneous games, no matter how mant MP they have.
If you are talking a modded sequential turn game, then the max would be at least 510 movement.
255 standard, plus 255 (or more) bonus movement, IIRC.

For turn based games I think you are right. But for simultaneous turn games the max a ship can move in any turn is 30 spaces. The reason for this is the way movement is calculated in simultaneous turn games. Each turn is divided into 30 days, and the total allowed movement of a ship is divided by 30. The result is the number of days between moves for each ship/fleet. But the maximum any ship/fleet will move in any one day is 1 space. So the result is a ship with more than 30 available movement will move one space per day until the end of the turn and the excess movement is wasted.

Except in combat, where all of that excess movement can be used.  |

...Taz reads all the preceeding Posts and quickly decides to sneak very quietly out of THIS thread. 
P.S. Did they ever determine how many angels can dance on the head of a pin?
