Need some rules help please

[Adrian Cameron]

A question for anyone that can help. If you moved at full speed in your previous turn then your opponent gets an engine hit result on the crit table. In your next activation are you now treated as combat speed and therefore can reduce speed to slow speed. Or are you treated as full speed still and must reduce speed to combat speed.

I only ask as you can only reduce or increase speed by one each turn

Also, something that just came up, what happens when you have a ship hit the table edge

[RichC]

If you were moving at full speed you must slow in your next activation to Combat speed.

If a ship ends touching the edge then in some scenarios it is effectively removed from the battle area immediately.
You could, however, say with agreement from your opponent that if a ship ends it’s move with less than a quarter of the ship off the table then it is still in action.

OK so for the sake of rules then in the unlikely scenario that a ship gets hit twice in one turn with the engine hit result while it was at full speed, then in its next turn it must reduce its speed to combat speed, then in the next following activation go down to slow an so forth. I take it that this would be to represent it just drifting to a stop under its own momentum rather than just coming to a dead stop.

KISS suggests you drop one speed bracket per hit just to keep it easy to track
