Pirates and navigators

[muscatred]

I'm just wondering how a pirate's x4 speed boost interacts with a navigator. Does the speed boost only kick in after sub to sub combat or does it work if he resets his course back to a friendly outpost? Does he lose the speed boost if he changes his course whilst it's active?

After sub to sub combat. If you change direction you lose it after gaining it.
