I was trying my best (see eg 
http://lists.complete.org/freeciv-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx/2002/06/msg00038.html.gz
) but I guess an example is always better than hundreds of pretentious 
words...

I think you explained it before, but let me ask again, wouldn't it be 
better to multiply the whole thing by move_rate:
         COP = TURN_FACTOR*total_BMC + TEC*move_rate
?
