RE: strike the colors rule

Or every time you loose a crew factor, the ship must make a morale 
check or withdraw from battle (move out of weapons range or shut 
down if unable to withdraw). The ship may continue to make morale 
checks each turn until it successful (and may reengage).

Morale Check: Roll equal to or under the number of crew factors the
ship has left +1 to stay in the battle.

I like "strike the colors" idea, but think that it should be a optional
and lightly enforced rule (i.e. allow for heroism on the part of captain
and crew, but not have every ship fight to the last hull box).
