Galactic Civilizations 3 Message Board  

I found out how to make the ship animation faster. It should be possible to make a mod to do this, but I haven't tried yet.

In the file Data\Game in the GalCiv3 program folder, there is a file named ShipMovementDefs.xml. To increase the speed of the animation, change these values to whatever you want:

< FleetMaxSpeed >3.20< /FleetMaxSpeed >
< FleetAcceleration >2.0< /FleetAcceleration >

I set mine to:

< FleetMaxSpeed >9.20< /FleetMaxSpeed >
< FleetAcceleration >9.0< /FleetAcceleration >

and its much faster. Enough that I don't feel the need to scroll the movement off-screen anymore.

(NOTE: Added spaces between < ... > because otherwise the tags don't get shown...)
