I put the number 4 in brackets because one would need 2 other crewmates to sufficiently operate the ship's weapons. According to that I put 2 of the ship's actions in brackets as well but the 2 minimum crewmates could always move and let the ship ascend/descend and move as propeller/furnace/wind alonend it.  \nI marked the standard travel pace with writing it bold. It's the ship's speed with propeller on and without much wind. The other travel paces include eventual heavy winds that make the ship travel faster or slower.
