Is speed bugged?

[LordQulex]

I have two fleets composing of 3 ships designs. The design specifics are not important, what's important is that Battleship Design Alpha shows a speed of 177, Battleship Design Beta shows a speed of 176, and my Titan shows a speed of 175. First Fleet has 20 Alpha Battleships and a Titan, and Second Fleet has 20 Beta Battleships and a Titan. Either way, the slowest ship in the fleet was the Titan. I guess I assumed the fleet only went as fast as the slowest ship, but somehow First Fleet always pulled ahead of Second Fleet when ordered to move to a far away place.

So, how does speed factor into fleet movement if it isn't the fleet moves at the speed of the slowest ship?

Thanks!

Below is a picture of the speed I am referring to.

What about admiral perks?

What about admiral perks?

Also is fleet speed buffed by level?

You'll not see a noticeable speed difference between 175 and 177. It's almost certainly, as other have said, some outside bonus, likely from an admiral that has a trait that increases movement speed. That would most likely be Aggressive, Gale Speed, or Scout - or Lethargic on the other fleet, since that one reduces speed.

Also is fleet speed buffed by level?

No, Admirals give +3% Fire Rate per Level.

If there is empire wide speed bonus you should see it in government screen.

It's supposed to be as of 3.1:

* Fixed fleet speed being dictated by the first ship in the fleet instead of the slowest one.

There's always a possibility of it being re-introduced in followup patches, though.

That would affect all fleets though, not just one. It's almost certainly either an Admiral giving a buff/malus or a bug.

Yep, one of them has Gale Speed.

I deeply apologize to anyone who spent time or energy on this post. XD
