Page 17- Overlapping Ships

I've seen YouTube videos that state ships "crash" if their bases are touching. However on page 17 it states to move the ship backwards on the movement title until the bases are not touching. (And cannot do an action)

Can someone clarify please?

Page seventeen of what? On page fifteen of the Rules Reference, under "Overlapping Ships," it says you move the ship back until it's no longer overlapping, but it's definitely still touching.

In fact, that's the only way two ships can become "touching" in this game.

Crash is a just another way to describe a bump - there's no difference in terms of how the bump is played out (you still back up until the ships are touching, then the moving player loses his or he action.

OH! That makes sense. The penalty is loosing the ability for an action, not a 'crash' aka: damage. Thank you.
