Default Re: Questions about "seek after"

On a related note, I am assuming that ships only have two speeds: stopped and "all ahead full." That is, if my ships have movement of 7, and I only move 1 sector, I assume they go "all ahead full" for 1/7 of a turn and then stop for 6/7 of a turn. Right?

That is, if a storm is directly between me and the enemy, and, say, 2 sectors away from each of us, I assume I can ensure that combat takes place in the storm by just moving those 2 sectors at full speed (assuming my movement rate is at least as great as my opponent's) and stopping movement in the storm.

If, on the other hand, my ship moved at 2/7 speed, and the attacker moved at full speed, I would not reach the storm in time.
