Federation Commander

A suicide shuttle is launched in direction a. In sub pulse 4 of the next impulse it's target ends up in the hex next to the shuttle in direction b. Can the shuttle turn and impact on the target (not a het) or must it go straight in the direction it was launched.

Thank you

A mandatory HET is the only reason that a seeker does not have to go straight on it's first hex of movement. As a shuttle cannot HET the shuttle goes ahead.

That's my reading of the rules anyway.

Lee is correct. The suicide shuttle moves straight ahead as it cannot HET.
