Movement works like this: All ships take their 1st move, check for collisions. Then all ships take their 2nd move, check for collisions, etc.
Backing Sails was unfortunately not programed into this version of the game, so a ship can not "wait" for another to clear.
So a ship's relative speed has nothing to do w/ it.
Oh, yes, and drifting happens after ALL ships have moved.
I hope that helps.
DerekThanks. I think that answers it. The Pirates scenarios are good for experimenting and learning how a chain reaction collision can go horribly wrong.

[/QUOTE My main concern with "collisions" is how to pre-determine which ship will gain the disputed square...in a recent example my SOL, moving under full sail with a following wind (2) intentionally entered a square already occupied by a much lighter ship ( (a frigate)My thinking was that in the event the frigate did not move and a collision occured my SOL would displace the frigate because a) mine was the heavier ship and b0 my boat was moving at a faster pace. This did not happen with a fatal result. Is tghere any way to know in advance which ship will get the disouted space or should I assume there is no way for one ship to push another off a hex?
