Quick question about movement

By Hamu, in Forbidden Stars

Okay, so I bought Forbidden Stars after falling in love with it since the first announcement. Last night I had my second playthrough, and we came across an interesting question.


The World Eaters player wanted to resolve a Strategize order, and looked into purchasing the upgrade that allows his ships to move through warp storms. He wondered if this restricted his units from tagging along with the ships. I assumed yes, but wanted to be sure so I took to the rulebook.


Although the order upgrade specifically mentions "ships" (compared to another card that uses the word "units"), the rulebook also states that ground units thematically use non-military ships to hop from world to world.


Am I overthinking this?


A little bit. I think the wording "ships" on the upgrade card is pretty clear (otherwise, as you stated, "units" would have been used, and a reference to legal movement paths would have been made), so, I'd play this literally
