Thanx for your help on this thing.

I'm aware of the "enemy spotted" change, I think that's the one that drops the compression and posts the "Enemy [shiptype] Spotted! What do you want to do?" Engage, maintain course, crash dive" message.

The one I'm talking about doesn't cause that menu to come up; in your messages box, it says something like "WO: Ship Spotted at bearing 152, Long Range" and keeps right on chugging along at 6000x speed anyway. My guess is that it does this because the ship spotted hasn't been identified as an Enemy yet. By the time I get the Compression cranked back down to a manageable level, it's two hours later and the ship is long gone.

(I can hear the 1st Mate now: "Whattya talking about, Captain? I reported that sighting to you two hours ago, and NOW you want to change course to intercept???" Heh...)

If someone knows the tweak for that particular event, I'd love to hear it.

Better yet: if anyone knows a keystroke that immediately jumps time compression to 1X, that would be almost as good. Although one thing I haven't tried is hitting the Pause key, which may change it to 0x....
