Since this is not implicitly stated, this is a tough call. Since the
Nova
"ball" affects all ships within its range and the ball is still active
until
its last turn, I would think any ships moving in contact with the
template
would be affected by it. Just as mines are activated whenever a ship
passes
within their active radius. Make sure all players agree to a decision
about
this before play.
