Download the reynans 2.0 beta 4 mod and you wont need trade lanes

I know about that already, and can edit the cruise speed myself, but I don't want to change the game completely, just make trade lane travel a little faster.

How do you go about slowing the trade lanes? By reducing the max speed of everything in constants.ini? That's cheating just a weeeeeee little bit.

Off topic, and not proposed to offend anyone, but since when is "if you do this thing that is completely unrelated to the question that you just asked, you won't need to do what it is you want" an answer to a question? "Upgrade your cruise speed" is in no way a true answer to "How do I increase trade lane speed?". It's akin to "What channel is The Smurfs on?" "Oh, Garfield is on channel five. You won't need to know what channel The Smurfs is on if you watch Garfield." Quite unsatisfying, isn't it?

of course it would be cheating a weee little bit, but since I play only on SP and don't like the addiction and time consumption of MP, then I feel it isn't hurting anyone, just reducing the time I spend playing SP so I can spend time tending to my social life too. I play MP on a different and unedited version of FL when I play.

On a different note, answering my original question with a completely unrelated answer is irritating, thanx for noticing

hm, yeah, but since there is no known way to increase the speed of tradelanes the increase of the cruise engine is the only possible workaround...

The advantage of increased trade lane speeds is that it gives it a legitimate reason to be used once more. That and the fact that travelling in a trade lane means no annoying crashes with asteroids when your flying something big. Making all the asteroids dynamic is like popping balloons and thus unrealistic. Increased trade lane speed is the most realistic change possible.
