Default Re: My problems with simultaneous

Well, I did some tests. Geo was right about EmerProp not working on out-of-supply ships; but, at least in turn-based, it's not hard-coded to look for ships with speed 1. And it also provides some level of benefit...

Standard 1.84 game, turn-based (!); 2 ships:

1st ship: movement 1, EmerProp5
2nd ship: movement 6, EmerProp5

EmerProp worked as expected when supply tanks were full; i.e., ship 1 moved speed 6 and ship 2 moved speed 11.

With empty supply, both ships were only able to move speed 2(!) after using the EmerProp component. Since this was turn-based, the same effect occurred whether the EmerProp was used before or after issuing ship movement orders.

So it looks like Geo was right; EmerProp requires supply to move a ship. I'll have to re-test in sim-move as well...
