Default One sector per turn speed

Belated greetings from the forgotten fog of SEIV 1.49. After my preoccupation with PBW these Last few months, this is my second post today. I'm also quite tardy in reporting back to the development site as well, but on to my question...

A couple of turns ago, I had occasion to wonder which days of the month ships actually move on for a maneuver I was contempating. So I checked the FAQ, found out, and even produced a nice jpeg chart of the info for future use (will send it if anyone is interested).

Although I understand that a ship (damaged or otherwise)
that can move only one sector per turn may well be toast most of the time it's confronted, I still can't help but wonder which day of the month it moves. This is missing in the FAQ. Maybe it's the blank square in my graphic that bothers me most, but still I wonder. Which day does it move?

Given the pattern there, day 30.

It should move on the Last day, according to both the standard rule and a short test I ran. It was under 1.91 though, but it shouldn't make a difference here (of course, shouldn't and doesn't are not quite the same).

That was my impression too guys. Thanks for confirming it (almost).
