As of last update, what determines the shipment speed of brokers? Wasn't on the operational quality curve before? Is it the construction Q now?

I would prefer the original ×2 lightspeed. Not too fast but faster than deadheading, and it makes cargo hauling with a warp capable ship very much worth it.

Alternatively it could fetch and install a number of FTL drive modules equal to the number of possible shipments and use that speed.

There is the fetch failure, of course, but resources are so abundant now that is rarely a problem for buildings.

Now that production quality is back to being high, maybe the waste factor should just be increased?
