Slow elbow

A slow elbow is a movable elbow in a construction arm toolkit that is controlled by a slow salvo, which most likely comes from a previous construction elbow. Unlike a standard elbow which is generally fixed on a single construction lane or at least within a narrow range, a slow elbow can move freely in two dimensions as long as there is room for it. Each slow elbow added to a construction arm results in an exponential increase in the cost (in gliders) of the final construction.
