Just a note, it's an 11% chance to get the Watch 'em result.
It's supposed to represent a variety of ship actions, like:
- Doesn't know whether to turn away and present rear only to get shot, or turn toward and show as an aggressive act.
- Crew frozen by inaction as gossip spreads that their ally might turn against them (or not).
These are both represented rather nicely by my alternate suggestion - just because you don't want to present rear doesn't mean you wouldn't turn at all. If you Titanic into an asteroid because you're too busy staring at another ship's thrusters, you're an idiot, and shouldn't be in charge of anything - I wouldn't trust you with a stapler. My suggestion is that the paranoid ship must be able to direct fire on the suspect ship until that ship is no longer able to betray you (that turn).
- A showdown of who has more chutzpa, one upping and so forth, like a big ol' game of chicken.
And crashing your 5km long battleship and getting yourself and your entire fleet killed makes you cooler how exactly? Besides, the one-upping is already represented by a result of 6 on the chart. These four results should be used to represent fear and paranoia only.
