Can ship movement be speeded up?

[GR Decker]

In the beginning game everything is fine but by the time I get to mid-game watching all these ships move really slows down the action of the game.
I have waypoints set to bring in my ships from my far flung planets to where the action is but it's getting boring watching 30 some ships move one at a time every turn. First I watch this one move a few spaces, then I watch another one move a couple spaces, then this one, then this one, etc., etc.,
Have I missed a setting somewhere? Is there a way to have it so you don't have to watch everyone move (unless you bump into someone).

Thanks George
