This depends on your idea about the game scales. I'm perfectly happy
with 
a game turn of about 20 minutes and a length scale of 1 mu ~ 1000 km, a 
speed of 30 mu/turn is roughly 25 km/s... which isn't fast enough to 
justify relativistic velocity rules.

If you choose another set of time and length scales, you can choose the 
limit arbitrarily, of course.
