x1 speed for military must stay, protect the legacy of 1x speed.
I'd be OK for peaceful fleet to go to 2x at most, still prefer to stay 1x but I can live with that. Going to 10x from 1x is crazy talk.
I think the rest of settings are fine and nicely balanced (x8 eco and x16 research)
So Umbra had 3/5 the things you wanted, but war speed was too fast. So you've merged to Volans to ask to change everything to almost the same as Umbra except for War Fleet?
| Volans | Umbra | |
| Peaceful Fleet: 8x or 10x |
 1x |
 Already 8x |
| War Fleet: 2x |
1x |
6x |
| Holding Fleet: 8x |
1x |
Already 8x |
| Economy: 10x |
8x |
8x |
| Probe Storage: On |

I'll be honest, across the merger thread and most players in Volans, I think most want to keep 1x fleet speeds as that's what they've chosen to want to play. Even some from Exodus Group 1 want to come to Volans for that reason. So I think the only ones you're likely to get the Universe to agree on is increasing the Economy Speed and possibly Peaceful Fleet...
Group 2 had Volans or Umbra as choices didn't it?

Like many comments in the merger thread, there is an overwhelming preference for people to have a 1x speed uni. So let's not get rid of it after you chose to come to a 1x speed over a 6x speed?
Wonder if it means Lifeforms are coming soon??
Bump for poll please!
Some very nice numbers!
