Average Reliability[]

Average reliability is based on the average speed calculation.
(StartSpeed+EndSpeed) / 2 = AverageSpeed
So the average speed for a length of time should be.
(EngineSpeed + (EngineSpeed*EndReliability)) / 2 = AverageSpeed
This calculation can be shuffled around to produce AverageReliability
(100%+EndReliability) / 2 = AverageReliability
The average reliability over a given length of time can then be used to directly adjust WSP or speed.
