I have lots of Star Trek styled SSDs, due to my large collection of ST
miniatures from SFB and Fasa's ST game. We do not play in the ST universe so
it hasn't
mattered.  We usually play a lot of one-off games; our campaigns have
never gotten past the "build your starting fleet" point (last one was limited
to book ships with some alterations: i.e., removing things for a MT sensor;
replacing the single hangar
bay with real weapons - what's the point of a single hangar bay?).

A lot of ST combat was in normal space, only when someone was fleeing did
combat go FTL, er, subspace.

I'm feeling less comfortable with my position, but it still seems like this
was intentional fuzzy. Generally, fighting in 'impulse' was deemed like would
be described on occasion as moving 'like a wallowing pig', but plenty of
fights started with slowing to meet.

I still see cinematic as a useful model to combine both, but accept, as
always, I'm in a minority.
