Anyone know if this mod exists?

from Sins Forums

I'm looking for a mod that will speed up the gameplay similiar to how it can be increased in single player games. Ive searched but have not been able to find one that works with entrenchment. Please post a link if you know of one that is actually working.

In Sins there's a button you click to rename ships/planets/starbases. To the left and right of this button, are two others. The one on the Left will SLOW DOWN gameplay, the one on the Right will INCREASE the gameplay speed. I hope this helps you.

I think he might be talking about MP? Or he wants it even faster than x8?

I don't know if there is an mod but it is quite simple to make. Just make a new mod folder(e.g.FastGPMod) only containing a "gameinfo".
The whole folder should look like this:
"C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\Mods-Entrenchment v1.03\FastGPMod\GameInfo\"

Then you download this file: http://www.filefront.com/14098557/Gameplay.constants and put it in the new folder.

You can open the gameplay.constants with an text editor.

In the file you will find this part(Near the end):

This will affect the settings you can set at the beginning of a game

I think most of the values are pretty self-explaining, so just modifiy the values you want, save it and activate the mod(Named FastGPMod in this case)
