[FT] Striking Colors

    I propose that the Ship Morale rules change the consequence of
blowing your morale threshold roll from "striking your colors" to
"breaking contact" a.k.a. "pull a Pavel Young."    Ships in this
condition would accelerate at maximum speed away from all enemy
ships--if not possible, away from all enemy ships of equal or greater
mass.	The ship would only surrender if it takes another threshold
check while attempting to break contact, or if it has no operable
drives, or it is unable to get out of range within two turns.
    If there's an admiral handy, perhaps the admiral could attempt to
"repair" the ship's morale.
