Ship Speed suddenly faster? v1.03

Hi everyone,

I have noticed something curious in my Sins games recently.
Ship movement speeds are suddenly really fast.

I haven't changed any settings or anything, but the default movement speed is all of a sudden much faster than it used to be.
The strange thing is that the change in speed hasn't come due to version change.  I am on v1.03, and have been since it came out.
I played one huge map when v1.03 first came out, and I was on that sucker for about two weeks (! awesomeness), and it was all fine.. Played TEC.

After I finished that map, I have since started a few small games to kill time till v1.04 comes out.  What I have noticed is that the ships all seem to be flying along (compared to the default speed i am used to).
I even slowed the ship speed down in the options for the new games to the slowest, but it didn't change the ship speed at all that I noticed?

I am not 100% sure if this is the only ship speed that is faster.  It seems to be, but maybe the whole game is running quicker?  I didn't notice that happening, but it certainly feels faster with my ships zooming about all over the place.

Any thoughts? Suggestions?  I am not sure what has happened...
I would much prefer my slower ship speeds again...  Seems to be happening all to quickly the way it is...

Thanks in advance for any assistance!
