Ok, I've re-read the rules, and I've searched this sub forum.

Setting speed for my ships.

Initial deployment, each ship's speed has to be a legal (per it's card) option.

I understand that.

Now, every turn after... when do I set speed?

Is it during the command phase when I'm setting command dials?

Or if I start a ship at speed 2, is it locked into speed 2 forever until/unless I use a nav command/token to modify it?

Thanks

Yep, forever.

This.

Yep, forever.

No speed changes for anyone.

That's why navigate commands are AWESOME!
