Title: Strategic Speed
Post by: Zume on August 24, 2008, 02:23:20 PM

For a ship equipped with military engines is the maximum safe cruising (strategic) speed 1/2 of top speed, fractions round down. In the canon a battleship with a max speed of 5 can cruise safely at 2. How about a ship with a top speed of 3. Would its cruising speed be 1 or 2?
