The question has to do with something I read on an old site the other day. The site was talking about how the speed that a ship moved was dependent on how many turns to warp the ship used. So as a simple example a ship that takes 2 turns to warp would be twice as fast as a ship that took 4 turns to warp. The site was talking in terms of seconds, so 2 seconds to warp compared to 4 seconds.

In the games I have been playing this doesn't really seem to be true, so I'm wonding if that is something from the old days or if it is a setting that is controlled by the Sysop. Maybe just sped up for todays environment. If it was just sped up it would mean that someone trying to chase me down in and "slow" ship would never catch me assuming we are both using scripts.

Thanks in advance for any input,

Thanks for the infor guys. The game I'm playing is set to None so that means every ship is the same speed, it just a matter of how fast the script/connection is.

Correct. And if in a turn game, a ship using 15 turns per warp will be done faster than one with 2 turns per warp.

Also if ship delay is on it will affect how long it takes to launch a wave of fighters. The slower the ship the longer it takes.

i'm going to go out on a limb and say that ship delay has nothing to do with fighter waves. i'm pretty sure it has only to do with moving.
