I have 2 arcs, 1 pirate and 1 attack fleet going out.
Odd, I don't see them. Do you see my fleets? 4 arcs and a bunch of merchants?
Assuming that ships travel by accelerating until the halfway point and then decelerating until the destination
I'll be able to tell you at the turn change, one of my fleets crossed the halfway point.
My guess would be that for playability it just keeps increasing in speed. When you get close to an enemy planet you'd hate for it to slow to a crawl as soon as you're in sensor range.EDIT: Seems I'm wrong, fleets do slow down when they get close to their destination:
Fleet #5942, 1 arc (5942) enroute -- distance = 1.70 speed = 0.00
Fleet #5942, 1 arc (5942) enroute -- distance = 1.40 speed = 0.30
Fleet #5942, 1 arc (5942) enroute -- distance = 0.80 speed = 0.60
Fleet #5942, 1 arc (5942) enroute -- distance = 0.50 speed = 0.30
