Does the time that it takes to get [an insured ship] back vary between ships?
TL;DRYes, timing varies per ship through three designer-editable values in a spreadsheet: processing time, expedite cost and the shortened wait time, with the figures mentioned being current test numbers.
Yep. So there's three variables. In this iteration, this is another thing I had to talk to Will about after getting the design. Like, okay, so you've specified we need the number of claims to matter. Ships have a certain amount of time they need to wait and a certain shortened amount of time. Okay, what variables do you need to edit? And so right now, those variables are: how long does the ship take to process after you claim it? Some of them I've seen currently are sitting at maybe 30 minutes. How much does it cost to expedite this? So if I want to get it quicker, maybe the base cost is like 100, we'll say. And the third one is, what time does it get shortened to? So some values I've seen for these in our current build are like, okay, maybe the processing time is 30 minutes, and it costs 200 to expedite it to five minutes. And that's what all the designers can go in and fill out: this big spreadsheet of values for all the ships.
