There is a way to solve this problem!

Use cm's rather than inches, it has the effect of increasing the size of
the
paying area 5 fold. This means small ships can get up to really high
speeds,
and use hit and run attacks to good effect without worrying about flying
off
the edge of the table. We have used cm's in a few games and it really
changes
the way the game plays. Try it and see.
