Question: This version of the game does not give the one hex rake when the ships form a "T". I was quite surprised. Is this a bug or a designed feature?

  • its more of a result of the weakness of a hex based movement system...
    a one hex rake is pretty hard to achieve...but it is possible...you simply have to position your ship to be outside the broadside arcs of the target ship


    Interesting, because in the board game they allow for the range 1 rake when your vessel can still be shot at by your opponent. I'll take it as a designed feature rather than a bug.
    Thanks for the info.

    The on-line rules, which, as you note, differ from the board game's rules, are (atypically) consistent with the implementation. Therefore, it is not a bug. Rather than call it a "design feature" (a la MicroSoft), I would term it an "intentional design omission", probably for simplicity of programming.
