If you are running under XP, try running SE4 in 2000 compatibility mode.

Hi,
slow moving ships? How long is it ago that you Defrag you Hard drive? Also Memory is quite cheap these days.A High meg Cpu and more mem is not the whole story. My Comuter speeded up 2x (double) with a new 7200 rev Harddrive

I defragged the hard drive, and cleaned up useless files...but it was still going slowly. Then, for no apparent reason, it started going fast again!

I'm pretty sure it'll be back, though...there really ought to be a tried-and-true way to keep the game going fast

in tac combat, the intermediate solution between teleporting ships and crawling ships is to uncheck ship animation AND fast tac move. The ship will make micro teleports for a square to another, but not too fast that you cant see what they really do, or the detail of torpedoes&direct fire.
