It appears as though “Extra Movement Generation” is counted when calculating combat movement. Here’s the catch, if there are not components generating “Standard Ship Movement,” “Extra Movement Generation” is not counted for combat movement calculation.

For example, I have a component generating 8 points “Movement Bonus”, another generating 8 “Extra Movement Generation,” the ship will move around the map at a speed of 16 but have a speed of 0 on the combat board. If I add a component that generates any number of “Combat Movement” points, only those points will be used on the combat board. If I add a component that generates “Standard Ship Movement,” then all the points will be included in the calculation of combat speed.

With that said, I’m getting inconsistent results. Standard Movement 1, Movement Bonus 8, total ship movement 9 = Combat movement of 6???? Could “general group” value or “Ability Val 2” value have something to do with how propulsion related components work?

Maybe we should move this discussion somewhere else?

Ships are supposed to have 0 movement points of any type unless they have engines that generate at least 1 strategic movement point, generated from standard movmement point engines. Extra movement generation is not supposed to allow the ship to move if it has no standard engines.

I see no reason to move the discussion, really.
