Kind of bizarre that they even include the static flag if that's not how the game actually works...oh well.

It's as if Norm had something in mind but forgot about it.

If duct tape doesn't fix it then you are not using enough duct tape.

Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity and I’m not sure about the universe-Einstein.

Maybe it is leftover code from Age of Rifles [;)]

Seems like "someone" decided to change the static flag to mean "Very Slow Movement"

Wonder if other undocumented flag changes have been made. Do you think it is possible that a different flag is now the “static” setting?

That is a good thought. A lab scenario featuring equipment with particular flags selected could be checked against the game report.

Underlying issue seems to be that updated documentation for the equipment file is called for.

Cheers
