Reading this an idea that came to me that could be added to the original suggested change could be: After all movement cards are revealed allow the smaller rated ships like Frigates and Sloops to change their first Maneuver Card to reflect their agility.

Granted I haven't considered if that might add too much gamesmanship, or other negative and unwanted aspects to the game. But it's a thought I've been rolling around in my head to reflect that most Frigate and Sloop Captains tended to be more experienced and aggressive in their ship handling then their higher rated ships Captains.

The above does make an excellent suggestion!
