In a close game, I have a relatively unscathed SOL
that is boxed in by destroyed enemy vessels (frigates)directly below and by the wind blowing against the only other escape route.
Initially, my SOL was in three hexes from the end of the line of destroyed frigates. As turns passed there was only one more hex for the frigates to drift before my SOL could escape.
However, for AT LEAST a dozen turns my SOL has been drifting at the same rate as the frigates.It was my understanding that frigates drift every turn and SOL drift every other turn. This is not happening.
What is it I am not getting?
That is the rule. What game is it? Copy and paste the URL or post the game number. Are the frigs bumping into you? Any collision in the basic rules means BOTH ships don't drift, which is a bit of a bug. I'm not sure and I'd have to try it, but a frig bumping into an SOL might make both of them drift at the same rate. Anyone know for sure?
If you can plot an escape, you can try to turn and bump on purpose, which stops drifting (and risks fouling), but is sometimes an effective way to get out.
