Short Issue Description

We think that perhaps the shape will not be such as the Eden start bases or FOBs. Not least of which because we also need to capture features such as timer, factory sectors, bill, transports, and so on.

• [x] Decide on the shape of a logistics tuple

[mwpowellhtx]

The base tuple shapes, in pseudo SQF slash DSL grammar form:

_timer = [
  _duration
  , _startTime
  , _elapsedTime
  , _timeRemaining
];

_endpoint = [
  _pos
  , _markerName
  , _baseMarkerText
] | [
  _pos
  , _markerName
  , _baseMarkerText
  , _billValue
];

_endpoints = [] | [
  _endpoint
  , _endpoint
];

_transportValue = [S, A, F];

_convoy = [] | [
  _transportValue
  , ...
];

[
  _uuid
  , _status
  , _timer
  , _endpoints
  , _convoy
]

[mwpowellhtx]

We may also include comprehension concerning convoy transport economics. What do we mean by that; that is to say, capturing the build cost and recycle value at the time of building, and using that metric to inform the subsequent recycle requests on a per transport basis. The fact that we are not yet saving or loading logistics yet, means we have space to make this decision yet.
