DEATH PROBE TURN MODE

[Sneaky Scot]

The Death Probe (Scenario 8TA1) states that the Death Probe can choose a baseline speed of 0, 8, 24 or 32 (depending on damage). The Ship Card (#80) lists turn modes for speed 8, 16 and 24 of 1, 2 and 4 respectively. The turn mode is A. There is no entry for speed 32, so what is the Death Probe's turn mode at this speed?

(As an aside I checked the SFB turn mode table which for a unit of Turn Mode A would result in turn modes of 2, 3 and 4 and speeds 8, 16 and 24 respectively, so I guess it isn't an exact read across.)

The reason for the variance from SFB on the turn modes is so that the progression in Federation Commander flows well. To make it look good and provide adequate differentiation at the break points FC uses, these minor tweaks were necessary.

As to the question, the turn mode at base speed 24 and base speed 32 are the same. So, it will be 4.
