ad3ross, the multiplier is a calculation based on how fast your delivery is... so it is basically an amount per second. So if you are delivering say 50,000 per "run" and the "run" or delivery time (back and forth) takes say 30 minutes (1800 seconds), 50,000/1800 = ~28/sec equivalent. Faster ships have a greater impact on delivering large quantities, same goes with how close planets are
Can I propose a feature... I would like to take all existing Auto Delivery Fleets... and Assign them at HUB fleets. This comes a need once you get the Orion ships that can actually transfer everything in one run. Whereas early game your 8-10k-200k even deliveries are a need, but eventually become obsolete. Turning them off and making the join the auto fleet I feel may speed up the game from glitching once it gets "big"
Also, the Anger of Perseus capital ship travel time appears to be about 10% slower than the estimated travel time... which is already a HUGE number since this ship is so slow.
