Maybe I have made a mistake, I haven't re-read that part before making the change and its meaning is not 100% clear. The current interpretation of that rule in the code is that drifting is the last thing a ship will do in its movement phase. That is, it will first turn (if it wants) and then drift. However, V.C.3 could also mean that drift has to occur after all have moved (so it would be like a separate drifting phase, as the code run before!).
I agree it's not clear. It made sense to me for drifting ships to move last because drifting implies no hurry while other ships are actively moving. I've had problems staying near drifting ships -- usually you have to drift yourself. I'm fine with either way. |
