* Meeting routing requirements:

** Fleet speed affect certain [[Combat/Map Mechanics and Nodes#Routing|map routing]].

** Fleet speed affect certain [[Routing|map routing]].

*** Note that this does not apply to ''ship type'' requirements (eg. a BB will not count as an FBB where FBBs are specifically required).
