I cannot confirm it. I do remember suddenly being able to slow down more then expected in space maps, but not always being able to do it. I assumed it was the server, some certain mouse/control setting that made it appear to happen, or just bad memory on my part. It never occured to me that it could be related to the v1.3 patch and I never directly jumped between v1.3 and non-v1.3 space maps to compare them. Video evidence would have been nice to backup their claims, but I would have been too lazy to make it too, so I can't really fault them for that. If such a difference does exist, I wouldn't know why.
The patch does give people advantages. You can change your field of view (if this is an advantage is up to some debate), put campaign makers on team mates, and use shortcut keys to skip through menus faster. The Code Console allows anyone to input code, so there could also be something I hadn't thought of too.
When I get the time, I will PM
~FL~ TripHammer about possible solutions he hasn't thought of. I don't know him well enough to say if he would approve of them or not. A video in a buffer map of the menus is a good idea, but ineffective in determining what swbf2 is running for reasons I'm not going to go into (unless we reach a different solution with TripHammer).
I don't watch any other SWBf2 related forums, so thanks for bringing the issue to my attention.
