Summary0009173: Champion could be faster
DescriptionAfter playing the first wormhole i was annoyed at the speed of the champion because the other ships could outrun it which made chasing stragglers quite difficult. Perhaps bumping up the speed to 100 would make this more fun.

The champion is supposed to be somewhat slower than the EEr or SF ships in the nebula so you can't do extended kiting (some kiting still works pretty well, can recharge a lot of shields while running from an incoming missile salvo, etc). And compared to normal-space stuff the champion is fairly fast. But I'll think about it :)

For 5.057:

* Champion ship effective speed has been doubled and the NPC nebula combatant speed has been increased to maintain a smaller margin over the champion ship, but now being in a nebula acts as if there's always a speed-halver present.
** The result is that the champion's in-nebula speed is the same and the NPC in-nebula speed is a little lower (as they are intentionally slower than folks are used to since it's easier to make something tactically interesting with slower speeds) but neither is so slow in the rest of the galaxy.

Thanks :)
