You guys were kind of rough on the 4 straight Logus took toward the corner late in the game vs. Pheaver.

Notably, it was probably OBE by that point as Logus made a couple other mistakes, but I think in general a 4 straight is the right move there. It takes an extra turn, but it puts his tail much closer to the board edge when he does turn about. He has the whole board in front of him and can likely successfully get shots for several turns in a row.

If he just does 2 consecutive 3-turns right there instead, he's got 1/2 the board behind him. He'll need to turn about soon, and most of Pheaver's ships would likely be on his flank or even behind him already. He is going to end up in a never-ending loop of 3 turns while they try to maneuver behind him, and he's probably not going to get many (if any) shots in a row. Add to that the relative open space in that corner free of obstacles.

Better just to clear out, get a lot of space in front of you and get several shots in a row a turn later rather than chase a single shot now. Just my .02.
