Talk:Warp Drive

Edited Ares speed; current speeds were set based on 4000 base speed. With the warp 8 Ares upgrade, base speed is uppped to 5000, thereby making it the same speed as a Prom upon achieving warp 8.

Are speeds altered when tech boosts are applied "in mission"?

I am wondering, when mission is in progress and any of the various drives are upgraded, are the "in mission" ships immediately affected (do they speed up)? My thanks in advance for the answers...

No, travel times are set when the fleet is dispatched. The only exception to this rule is that joining a Group Attack can delay when the attack lands. (This also delays when the fleets return from the attack, because the travel times are fixed in duration.) Drive technology changes do not affect fleet tasks already in progress. ⚙Zarchne 21:42, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
