This extension adds a couple job ships (one M and one L) to the major factions whose job is to find stations that are stalled and get the required resource from the closest possible provider at any price. Shipyards are prioritized before other stations, so it helps keep ships building. It also reduces something I've been annoyed by since X3, where the player can build a factory producing a needed resource right next door to stalled stations and unless the price is set way too low the AI traders would rather let their stations starve then pay the markup, so the player has to waste an extra ship to force the goods on the consumers.

Note that if it's added to an existing game, the ships will need to be built, so it might take a while since the shipyards are probably already stalled.
Changes in 1.2
- Updated to handle new shipyard build handling in X4 2.21
Changes in 1.1
- Added jobs for the Ministry of Finance as in X4 2.0 that shipyard gets used by the Teladi for some ships.
- In the (usually unlikely) event that there's nothing to do for a given faction, the AI will now fall back to evaluating allied stations.
