If two ships bump head on. (ie they are now parallel to each other, facing each other)

Can either ship make a 1 straight move?

As far as I can remember they won't be able to, because of the guides still overlapping after the attempted move.

Even if they are slightly offset in the bump, (still parallel to each other, but slightly offset so the guides are next to each other instead of directly touching), neither ship will be able to do a 1 straight right?

*Ooops. This was meant to be in the rules section, not here.

Seems right to me. The length of the square bit of the base is the same as a 1-straight. Since the guides protrude beyond that, you would need to move slightly further than a 1-straight to clear the maneuver.
