I recall asking this question at the MT rules thread but can’t recall the answer.
If a ship physically cannot move a segment during a move action due to other ships (or other objects/game pieces) being in the way, is it stuck or can it move the closest possible distance even if the direction isn’t game-legal?
I think a better example than this would be if the ship in question had rank-6 cannons and couldn’t do ram damage (meaning shots normally wouldn’t help, so perhaps the ship can be “frozen” via boxing it in).
