Ever wish the game would go by quicker while you’re flying your lumbering Paragon up to the line of battle? Ever wanted to push “fast forward” while your fleet mopped up the remnants of an enemy fleet? Ever wanted to speed through a trivial Derelicts fight? This mod is for you!
Hold the middle mouse button and the game becomes 2x faster. You can also press the caps lock key to toggle fast mode at your leisure. The B button toggles the slow-down effect of phase systems. Control-capslock toggles the game to run in as-fast-as-possible mode.
Controls are fully customizable. You can even set custom time scaling factors on separate inputs, if you like.

If only you could make similar for global speed.
Can’t say if it applies to retreat, though.
Bump. Can I get a move to the main forum + mention in the index?
Done, thanks again for another one.
Does this override the game setting’s combat speed modifier? If it make the game default to +50% speed, does this make it so that nothing happens when you activate it, and drop down to the original 100% speed, or does it stack?
Can you change the bonus, to 200%?
Does this cause frame skipping when used? High speed projectiles phasing through shields?
Irregardless, a new mod that is a MUST have.
You can change the bonuses to anything you want and mix/match key settings. I’ll release an update with some bug fixes within a week or so, relating to some more complicated key binding schemes.
Yes, it can cause frame skipping. I would strongly recommend increasing the FPS cap if you’re going to push this mod over the default setting of 2x speed. There will be artifacts and glitches if you make the multiplier too high.
