drive system Optimization

this tech came up multiple times but only worked the first time.  Extra uses is a waste of research points.  Are these suppose to add additional speed or whatever is on.  What do we do when done with tech tree?

Drive Optimization adds moves every time it is researched.  It's critical if you're conquering other races later in the game as it reduces travel times from one end of a sector to another.

I does bring up a question I've always had.....Does drive optimization affect previously built ships or only new ships? I know fleets will travel at the slowest ship's speed so this is a crucial point.

Before my game 10.5 hours in started crashing every load so its busted.... I noticed the move increase shows on ship designs not built, but were not immediately if ever added to ships already on the board.
