Ship Movement Speed Variation? Not implemented?

[Sigurd Wraith]

Originally it was posted in the beta forums on 9/28/2010 that ship speed would be reflected as...

Orc Boat

Cannons 7
Turn Delay 2
Drift Speed 1
Durability 100K
Cannon Damage 150%
Hold Size 14K stones

Gargoyle Boat

Cannons 7
Turn Delay 1
Drift Speed 1
Durability 140K
Cannon Damage 100%
Hold Size 12K stones

Tokuno Boat

Cannons 5
Turn Delay 3
Drift Speed 2
Durability 100K
Cannon Damage 100%
Hold Size 16K stones

Could we get some Dev clarification on this please? Did this change somewhere between 9/28/2010 and release? As it stands right now the Tokuno Ship, Gargoyle, and Legacy ships are all the same speed.

I noticed this too, Was sailing full speed against a Gargoyal one in my Tokuno ship and we were side by side.

i think the speed is only noticed if the ships are damaged
