Ramming Speed.

If you are approaching a target at speed X, you still have a
chance to peel away at the last moment. If you are approaching a
target at the top speed your engines can provide, such that you cannot
turn away or be deflected, that's speed Y. Speed Y is ramming speed.

"Seems an odd order. Why not maximum speed or full speed ahead? Does
EF rules provide for ramming of other starships?"

Because it also implies "...and we're going to HIT that ship."
Ramming speed says both. You could say, "Give me maximum speed, set a
course to RAM the ship," or you could say "Ramming speed." Same exact
content, shorter terms. Brevity is our friend. Pedantry is not.

BTW, regarding Wolf, which you mention...I've now heard that a
number of our cast members got stiffed for all or part of their fees
for the Vorcon convention...Michael O'Hare, Peter Jurasik, Pat, Mira,
others.
