Partials/Speed system

Ship's speed can take the following values:

• Slow (低速)
• Fast (高速)
• Fast+ (高速+)
• Fastest (最速)

Initially, a ship is either slow or fast, the speed can be increased (from slow to fast to fast+ to fastest) using the engine synergy, by equipping a turbine (can be equipped in the expansion slot) and one or more boilers (Enhanced Kanhon Type Boiler and New Model High Temperature High Pressure Boiler) on a ship. The effects are

• Increase in speed, slow ships will be fast and will count as fast for branching rules. It is also assumed that fast+ and fastest will have their own branching rules in the future.
• Currently, it is unknown if there is an increase in evasion.
