Re: Movement Speed
There is no real way to guess someone else's movement patterns at our current high speed since there is no penalty to rapidly changing your movement.

Re: Movement Speed
Movement speed HAS been far lower in the past.
As I noted prior, we used to have lower movement speed as the default. However server updates and config standerizations unintentionally resulted in our original, lower, movement speeds being accidently reverted.

Perhaps there could be a way for someone with Captain level ID to "purchase" a aid request, they have to spend 'X' amount of funds to send a request for a medical aid ship. Which will further need payments for treating people when they arrive.

One big advantage if we turned down movement speeds is that we'd have far more control on abilities that increased movement speed. Right now we only have 'saniac' and 'hyperloop' speeds, if we had a slower base we could have more unique items that offered differing speed values.

For a year or longer about one or two years ago we had slower movement speed. However large scale server changes AND the unification of server configs eventually resulted in the unintentional revert of the slow movement speeds.
