In the optional rules, there are maximum speeds for each ship size. And another rule which says that relativistic distortion sets in at speeds in excess of 6.
Having just designed a Scourge ship with a speed of 13, I'm now wondering what that actually represents in terms of speed. It seems to be in the area of being like the "Picard Manouvre".
What is a delta of 6+ in terms of lightspeed. Is 13 at C? Or beyond C? Or just very close to C and going so fast that no direct fire weapon is going to hit anything?

6 hexes/turn is approximately .1 lightspeed. So C would be 60 hexes/turn.

Smashing, thank you! So a ship with a max speed of 13 isn't wholly unreasonable then, just unusual.
