Ship speed

#1 Post by defaultuser »

Interstellar Logistics gives ships an increase in speed. What are the rules on that? Example, I have two fleets of Flux Heavy Troopers, one that was just built that has ship speed 80, and an older fleet of the same with speed 100.

What exactly controls the speed-up due to IL?

Timing. Effects are processed before production so something built doesn't get the bonus. The bonus is reapplied every turn if a fleet is in range so it means the ETA on travel is frequently wrong but that's OK.

Basically, a new fleet doesn't get Effects driven bonuses from outside its own parts/hull.

Ah, another Effects thing. I should have thought of that.

Meaning, potentially another reason for implementing several phases of effect execution... :mrgreen:
