This &lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;/ins&gt;average commercial speed&lt;ins style=&quot;font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;/ins&gt;is determined by comparing the current Tech Year to the [[Build:Warp_Propulsion_System#Tables|warp propulsion capability]] tables, and retreating backwards by two nacelle achievements. Therefore, when a nation&#039;s warp propulsion technology increases to allow for shorter transit times, the number of eligible systems may increase accordingly.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
