Default Speed?

What exactly do the speed ratings do?

My away team is rated as below average in speed since I'm carrying a heavy eviscerator with a speed rating of -60.

My ship is rated as above average since I have two or more components with speed boosts.

But I can't tell the difference. It's a turn-based game. You always go one square per turn.

What am I missing? Does high speed permit a ship to outrun an opponent? How can that be? Does the opponent lose turns?

This is of interest to me today, since I'm done with questing and spelunking and scrounging commodities for awhile and intend to just keep jumping to above sector 100, looking for trouble.
