Need Help The speed of ships

[Skyworm]

Cheers Gents,

I wonder why all my ships are so slow.

I have played this game years before when it was New Horizons Build 14+something, and I remember that fast ships (Schooners, Frigates) could sail more then 10 knots with good wind from a favourable direction. I am not talking Arcade mode, I did this in Iron man.

Now acually I rarely get more then 2 or maybe 3 knots. Has this been reduced somehow, and can someone point me to where I could change this? For a direct sailing experience, 1-2 knots on average is really no fun at all. If I want to play sim snail, I would search for that

Thanks for any help.

Hello again,

I tried something myself. Found Speedrate in ships.init and changed it from 1 (default) to mucch more. But even with speedrate 6 I don*t get more speed than 4, maybe 5 knots. And this is with max sailing skill, max wind speed of 30 knots and not a slow ship (Fragata Latina).
It seems there is something capping the speed.
Any Idea where to look? I really want to change this.

Thanks.

Everything works well in my game. If you can, try the PiratesAhoy Discord server. It seems to be more active than here in the forums.
