loaded freighter battle board movement |

Does a loaded freighter move slower on the battle board? (I think so..)
Will overloading the movement factor help?
i.e. if the movement of the ship is 2.5, can I put an extra OT on it so that it will move faster on the battle board when loaded? (I know the movement cannot get faster than 2.5..)

Actually I was thinking of a Nubian with lots of multi cargo pods, some fuel, some OTs (trying to determine how many, 2 gives a 2.5 movement in the ship designer).

Me too, and got unexpected results. As first I checked the usual source RGCS, but came empty. All talks were about amount of salvage, nothing distinctive about combat speed change. So I devised a test by myself, testing just that:
AD-8 driven LFs vs. one DD with one colloidal.
1st test - default battle order: empty LFs had battle speed 1.25, fuly loaded LF 0.5.
2nd test - default battle order + dump cargo checked: empty LFs had battle speed 1.25, fuly loaded and now empty LF had speed 1.0.
Another test with Galeons speed 2.5. The default-battle-order empty Galeons had battle speed 2.5, fuly loaded 1.5, and dump-cargo one 2.25.
Seems we both have been wrong. Dump cargo empties the freighter, but decreases max battle speed by 0.25. Corollary: no loaded freighter with dump cargo order can retreat in the 3rd round.
Funny, I had in memory my battle speed 2.5 loaded LFs had retreated in the 3rd round. Eh
