My ships are moving so slow it is painful to watch between planets but in the gravity well they seem to be moving fine.

I am using a map I created ingame using Map Designer the only thing I can think of is I did put the slider for map size way over into lbright yellow almost green section.

Is it just that the map is so big it takes a long time to travel between planets?

I think i answered my own question yes i think it was map size i just set it back as far left as it can go and hit preview and my scout took off and traveld the phase lane much faster.
