Thanks. It appears for every Sails of Glory player there is a different opinion on how collisions should be handled. It seems to me since the bases are so much bigger than the actual ship models that bases touching shouldn't necessarily constitute a collision. What I might do is say for any potential collision you put down the two maneuver cards and see if the planned paths of the two ships cross each other. If they clearly do then it's a collision but if not then it's a near miss.
