I just built another type of constructor that moves speed 13. It also is limited to speed 7. No, there has been no galactic meeting with a speed 7 constructor resolution.

Are you quite sure that you're not moving them in a group where there is one 7 speed ship included

There's a UP issue that can limit speed on constructors. Someone else had posted a simiiar problem, and it turned to be that.

I think he knew someone was going to say that...

i had the same problem and it was a UP resolution, BUT, the resolution was to set minimum speed to 5. With my techs i had speed of 7 i guess. my ships when built would start out as move 19/7 for the first move , they move the full amount , then they would go max of 7 parsecs. After the UP resolution was up, speeds returned to normal. SO if you look , you probly have a UP resolution setting minimum speed, that apparently sets max speed too. I know its not supose to so i guess its a bug

Is it possible there are starbases nearby? There is a starbase module that will slow down enemies. Perhaps this is what is happening?

The UP resolution on speed of consructors lasts the entire game. Very annoying.

Supposedly they have fixed this in 1.2. Install the update and that shouldn't happen any more.

I wanted to finish the game before updating again, but since I just finished.....

Negative.... I did finally notice that the speed 21 constructors, when ready for launch, showed 21 of 7 movement points remaining and would move their full 21 when first launched and only 7 thereafter.

I'll update and load in the saved game to see if it still continues.

The only UP resolution currently in place is to set the BASE constructor speed at 5.

Whaddya' know? I installed 1.2B and all of a sudden my 21 speed constructors are moving correctly. Having just conquered an entire race in 1 turn, I'm sure my metaverse score would have been lower had I upgraded sooner because none of the populations would have increased much. Don't know what caused the bug, but the upgrade did take care of it.

Fast work! Thanks!

So you DID have the galactic resolution then? Why did you say that you didn't?

OK, No118 really needs to learn how to read. The problem was 21 speed ships only moving speed 7, the resolution I mentioned set the BASE (ie: MINIMUM) speed at 5...meaning they weren't allowed to be slower than speed 5.

Thank you.

Until the latest beta, the UP resolution meant speed is (e.g.) 5, period. Not minimum, not base, just speed = 5, plus whatever global speed modifiers you might have. Extra engines not used . . .

Sounds like the resolution WAS the cause of the original problem. The beta fixes this problem with the resolution.
