Ships with speed > 9 are limited to speed 9 after first turn...

from GalCiv2 Forums
In the late game in a huge galaxy, I've got a frieghter and constructor design with 25 move. The first turn they move, they move the full 25 (but you watch as their moves show 25/9, 24/9, 23/9, .. 0/9). The following turns they only move 9 (the count resets to 9/9).

The UP must have passed the resolution limiting movement of Constructors. It is confusing, as the resolution says it sets the minimum speed, but it actually sets both the minimum and maximum to 7 or 9 or whatever.

Yup, I posted on this long time ago. Never got a peep about it from a dev etc. So no clue if they gonna fix it or not.

Yeah, seems like a 'psuedo-bug' - if the text said "set speed at exactly 5", then it would make sense, but it claims that the resolution sets the minimum speed to 5 (in order to outrun those pesky pirates / warships).

So either fix the text, or fix the speed to allow full speed but disallow < 5.

Even if only fixing the text, then fix the "exploit" of running at full speed the first turn. Why would try move 46 and then drop to 9? Goofy - either enforce the limit always or take it out (my vote is to make it match the resolution text - limit the *minimum* speed to 5).
