			Movement is primarily determined by Speed. Every Ship '''must''' move that as many hexes in straight line as it has Speed by the end of their turn, barring a Special Order. Speed is constant from round to round.

			Every Ship has an Acceleration rating, which refreshes at the start of each round. Ships use Acceleration to make a major course correction (up to 45 degrees) and change their Speed. Each course correction costs one Acceleration. Changing Speed by one costs one Acceleration.
