Constructor Min Speed and UFP Law

Late in the game, the UFP had a proposal to set the minimum speed for Constructors higher than whatever the base is. My constructors I had designed had a speed of around 33, so I wasn't too worried about it. I forget which option passed, but the minimum speed was indeed raised.

Well, the law passes, and what do I find?

My constructors can move 33 spaces on their first turn. Then they are limited to 6 moves a turn. Their speed, when first built, is set to 33/6.

This seems to be a bug, to me. I tried redesigning the ship (to 37 Speed, they became 37/6 movement), and reloading the game.

Rather annoying to be playing on a huge map with 6 speed constructors. :/ For 4 game years, no less.

This bug has been fixed for 1.2.

When you vote on a minimum speed, any constructor ships below that minimum speed will be bumped up to the minimum speed. Any constructors above the minimum speed will keep their current speed.

When the UP law expires, any constructors that had their speed increased will revert back to their previous speed.
