 The Helm is where you fly the ship from. Maneuvers here will allow you to speed up, slow down, stall, ram, dodge, change facing, dock, evasive maneuvers, pickup spacewalkers, land, enter atmosphere, blast off or steady the ship. The Helm is where you fly the ship from.

-Choose a ship in the same hex with matching speed and heading. Connect a door on your ship with a door on the opposite side of the target ship (geometry must match). Those doors are now adjacent. Treat this as a Tractor Dock ([[..:rules:tractor#tractor_dock|page 121]]) with the exception that any attempted maneuver by either ship breaks the dock instead of being penalized by the other ship's size. Note that you must hack or break the door to go into the other ship unless you have access. At Speed 0, you do not need to match facing to dock.+Choose a ship in the same hex with matching speed and heading.

 Ramming is the process of causing your warp bubbles to collide as your ship is moving into the hex of another ship (or it is moving into your ship's hex). Note an actual collision at superluctic speed would obliterate both ships!

-If successful, your ship strikes the target with its Speed as a Cannon hit and its Size as another Cannon hit (see [[..:rules:ship_to_ship_combat#cannon_hits|page 106]]). Both hits ignore shields. The ship you strike deals damage to your ship in the same way (hits of Speed and Size).

 You can also use Dodge to avoid: rams, mines and missiles. The difficulty to avoid rams and missiles is increased by the successes of those attacks.
