Year 14 Day 38 15:45	Has ground speed been changed for ships
Ka`rla Leakey	Currently the rules state: “4.1/ Ground Movement Calculations Ship Speed: The maximum speed for vehicles is equal to 10 *(sublight speed) km/h but limited to a maximum 200 km/h when inside a city. ” However when I am moving round on a non city terrain square it seems to make no difference if I go in a ship with a sublight of 40 (YV-666) or 60 (Trilon Agressor) which should give speeds of 400 and 600km/h respectively, the travel time is the same in both suggesting speed is capped. Is this a bug or has a change been made and the rules just haven't been updated yet. And before anybody says, yes I am aware that ships may be prevented from surface travel soon so wasnt going to bugbase it regardless.

Lilith Delcroix	I thought all ships just move 1minute per square. I didn't come across any ship that moved slower on surface. ____________ Moons can't fly.

Xakic Jix	some are faster to cross terrain, but not faster in the actual city. ____________ Kyr'am bah ner aru'e!!

Lilith Delcroix	Yeah thats true, forgot about cross terrain. ____________ Moons can't fly.

Maha Michi	There is a bug with vehicles not going their actual speed. Perhaps that applies here as well. :/ ____________

Ellias Aubec	I believe it stems from the faster vehicles being able to traverse terrain squares in a minute or so, which is quicker than the timer ticker goes. So travel was restricted to the same limit as in cities to avoid those issues - likely this extends to ships as well. ____________

Lilith Delcroix	Vehicles are lot slower, they don't go 1min per square, at least not all of them. So I'd think they do use speed to some extent. ____________ Moons can't fly.

Ellias Aubec	The 1,500 km/h vehicles beg to disagree. ____________

Maha Michi	All the vehicles go the same speed right now because of a bug in the system. So, for example, all speeders go the same speed/take the same time to travel despite having different speeds on the vehicle pages. ____________

Kendall Holm	Its not a bug in the system. Its bc we havent figured out what to do with the high speeds and grid space. ____________
