Ship speed and the correct execution of navigational comma..

There are still occurrences in the game that I don't understand.

I wanted to exchange two tower ships and sent the faster ship (same
ship class, only with better engines) to rendezvous with the slower
pair of ships at a point in space and to take over the towee and move
on. It didn't happen. They met, but the faster ship didn't take up the
towee as I expected it to since it tow power was higher.

I have vaguely in my mind a memory of past discussions about how you
needed to be a miminum of time intervals within a specified range (in
which thing are allowed to happen) to have the next procecure check
kick in while host runs through the movement phases. Is that still
true? Doesn't host check for these commands at each movement instance?

There isn't support in the code for this manuever now, but it's a good
point that should be handled. I'll look into it.
