We currently are not playing with Collision Damage most of the time. We have a couple players that are using it and when I saw it in action this weekend it came up when a newer player misjudged a move. If I followed things correctly the result put some measurable damage on the SoL but basically did in his Frigate. It really had a bad effect on the rest of the game for him as a result. It does feel like SOMETHING should be there as a little more discouragement than just a normal 'bump' but the current version is pretty tough.

Once we start using full Actions then the requirement to reset your sails is nice, and maybe even combine that with the "draw a chit and check for Mast damage". In the mean time I'll have to look at the entanglement rules. Thanks for the suggestions!
