Game Speed Slider
« on: June 17, 2011, 02:21:32 PM »

I've seen people saying that the game plays too quickly while others (like myself) think that the current gameplay speed is quite good. Well a thought just occurred, why not add the option to adjust the game speed?

You can play on a laggy netbook.  ;D

(thhis thing runs at ~10fps or something like that. Haven't used it to play in a while though so I don't recall off hand)

I support this suggestion :)

A 'simulation speed' setting would be very nice.

Would there be a speed bar on the strategic map too?

Keep it simple and just have a speed bar in the options menu - the setting would affect everything. You could even hookup some hotkeys to increase / decrease the speed, so that you could speed up the game if you were say... traveling a long distance in a slow ship.

I strongly second this proposal. The absence of a game-speed toggle is not just tarnishing my enjoyment; it's downright maddening. Please implement this! :) Oh, and be sure that the range-of-effect is plenty generous to both extremes: for those who like things extra-quick as well as those (like me) who often want it extra-slow. Thanks.
