Well, I had an interesting occurance with it, where while playing Inferno, I had accelerated to 16X (I belive) in the mission where you scan ships near the gate, and when i came under attack, I tried to lower it as fast as i could (I had already made the Cruiser you escort inveunerable, since it was my 5th try) and went into 1/4... well, I died anyway, and when i hit Quick Start, it started me in 1/4 speed...
I had another problem like this too, in mission 13 of Inferno (the one around earth)... I'd failed the mission, so i thought i'd look at earth up close. I colided with it sometime after the 1 hour mark, but i was still in 64X when i hit Quick-start. By th time i got speed to 1x, I was past the Nemesis, 20k from everyone...
Can we at least have it reset to 1x at the beginning of the mission?
