Want to increase all Ships speed

posted on February 5th, 2017, 5:10 am

Hello,

I play this game a lot at my lan partys and it can be a blast! However the biggest complain is all the ships seem to slow... So i was looking into the ODF file and trying to find a way to increase all ship's speed by 1.5x and try and see if that help the issue about slowness.

Right now i see there are 1000s of ODF files and each ship has maybe 10-20. i dont even know if i am looking in the right spot.
I just want some tips on where i can modify ships, speed in particular. I dont know if there is an easier way to increase only the ship's speed. I feel if i do the game speed all that will do is increase how fast ships die also.

Thanks

Haha actually you're in luck. The Devs did leave a way to increase ship speed globally.

Each ship lists a physics file, for example "smooth_physics_100.odf". If you open these physics files, you'll find "combatspeed = n" and "impulsespeed = n", so if you change this value you will affect every ship that uses the file.

There are still some 40+ files, because the Borg use a separate set called rotate_physics, but it's a whole lot less than the ship files. A handful of the files aren't used by any ship, but you might want to modify them just in case there is one.
