Add space-time distorder vessel and fleet speed fader (#59) GameState.fleet_speed_multiplier (1.0-3.0) is applied at the point of use - Fleet's cruise anchor and Ship's own max_speed/acceleration - rather than baked into stored stats, so a stat upgrade researched mid-boost can't corrupt the base value and the fader takes effect immediately with no re-apply step. Ship.arrive_radius is scaled by the same multiplier: at higher speeds each physics tick covers a proportionally larger step, and once that step outgrows a fixed arrive_radius the ship can overshoot its snap-to-target zone every tick while chasing a target that's now also receding faster - visible as the fleet stretching apart under boost. Scaling it preserves the same "snaps onto its slot" tightness at any boost level that 1.0x already has. SpeedFader.gd is a self-contained vertical drag control (TouchJoystick's raw-touch idiom, not _gui_input) that writes straight to the autoload rather than reporting a value for something else to apply. It also resets the multiplier to 1.0 the instant fleet.has_capability("distorder") goes false, so a fleet can never be left permanently boosted by a vessel it no longer has. VesselDistorderComponent carries no per-shot behaviour (energy drain while boosted is #62) - its presence is what matters. Registered in VesselDefinitions, wired into the crafter/hangar/ship-lab menus per #57's note (5/5/6 -> 6/6/7 columns). 2026-08-16 17:59:04 +02:00			`class_name VesselDistorderComponent`
