	Wouldn't that give the ship with the faster SR a *way* bigger
advantage?  I was thinking of using an equal number of "movement segments",
with each ship moving a portion of their full SR.  For instance, a ship
with an SR of 6 vs a ship with SR 3 would move 2 hexes per movement, while
the slower ship would only move one.

	Why?  (:  All that would do is make the battle take more space on
the board.  Unless the hex is redifined to be 500/3 yards, it'll also
change a ships speed (to about 51 mph per SR).
