Sorry if this has been posted, but is there a way to show impulse speeds as "1/8, 1/4 etc impulse" instead of "x kph"?
(and also changing the speeds to be faster)

The 1/8th type is going to be hard.

But the other thing is more possible.

If you play in the console with this function:

Code:

App.UtopiaModule_SetGameUnitConversionFactor

Then you might be able to get the factor you want.

The function takes a single parameter in the form of:

Code:

App.UtopiaModule_SetGameUnitConversionFactor(DecimalNumber)

Where DecimalNumber is a number like 10.0 or 0.1 or 100.125464258

that's pretty pointless simulating *actual* impulse speed.
You'd move so fast that you wont be able to play anymore.

maybe just increase "in-system warp". This can be useful 'cause when you choose "overload matter/antimatter..." and then transport to a ship you need to get away REALLY fast in order to live

The stock in-system warp speed is hardcoded.You can use Dasher's Intercept Acceleration for a quick getaway.

yeah but dasher's intercept acceleration works only when you have a target selected. I DON'T have a target selected - I want to get AWAY from a ship really fast (at least 100000km/h).

isnt there the button 'in-system warp'? check bcfiles for an according mod.

apart from that, wouldnt it be wiser to check bcfiles for mods already available than opening a thread on any thing you search? just a hint

I know that button. I'll try to find out how to increase that speed. I've searched the forum ofcourse.

ok - did it - it was the warp.py file that needed editing

Try this:

Go to Brex's Advanced Power Settings and set the power for 'Speed' then boost the engine output to 125%. Then go to Kiska and tell her to "Engage Warp." It should be the top button. Make sure you're moving at top speed (should display 9 at the bottom right of the tactical view)

If you still can't get away fast enough, I don't think there's a mod out there that's going to help you. lol

Be warned... sometimes this makes the ship handle funny.... Very funny.

if its like it is in KM, you have to reboost the engines, when you go to "warp" in system, the code sets the engine power to 100%, so you have to boost it again

i've only found a funny handleing problem when i boost repair power on some ships
