2018-08-03 City Report, City Capture, Exchange in Designer

[Haxus]

City Report No Police
The requirement for police has baffled a number of new players. It would be helpful if the city report said something when there's no police.

Facilities section of the city report now shows a helpful statement about the need for police, when there are none.

HQ Report Civilians
City report from a military base should point out that the lounges and stores include local civilians.

HQ city report now says the lounges and stores include local civilians.

City Report Timer
When a city report is requested, the button to request another is grey until 13 minutes have passed since the report was generated. With new cities, this does not make sense because reports are generated when requested.

Timeout removed from request next report button.

Capture World
Build a base headquarters. This should capture all cities on the planet but it doesn't.

All buildings on the world change to the empire of the headquarters when a base is built. City ownership changes when capitols are captured.

Exchange in Designer
After the recent nerf to the old designers, the buttons disappeared to access the building and spacecraft blueprint exchanges from inside the designer.

Blueprint exchange interfaces are now accessible while inside the designer.

Broker Delivery Time
Broker delivery time estimates are adjusted faster based on broker Q. However, the shipments are not delivered at the estimated time.

Fixed an error that caused all broker shipments to be delivered at 2x lightspeed, unadjusted for broker Q, which did not match the estimates.

Broker shipments are delivered at 5x lightspeed, adjusted for broker Q, as estimated.

I would still rather prefer that tge shipment travel speed was a static 2x lightspeed. It never felt right to have it scale like that, the original 2x lightspeed was easy to work with. Scaling with QL is even worse than scaling with TL was, because QL increase is non-stop and the effect isn't linar.

[Mr. Mortius]

I'd agree with Deantwo on this, although we might have already discussed this in-game. I would prefer a flat 2x lightspeed rate to a 5x that increases with quality simply because of the predictability.

Perhaps brokers should have a slot for an engineer station. The module controls the shipment speed. Capped at 5, if you wish.

Lack of a module could still yield warp 2, if that's what people want.
