Merchant (Freighter) Speed

Merchants (Freighters) are limited to Speed 16 on the ship card. Can they accelerate and do 16+1?
We recently played a game with a merchant convoy. We limited them to Speed 16, but couldn't confirm by the rules or the ship card if they could have done 16+1 by paying for acceleration.

I am trying to get clarification if in the same sub-pulse at ship can sling left-or-right 60 degrees (if it has satisfied its Turn Mode Number), but not move out of the hex it is in by paying to deceleration.

Deceleration in a turn

If your ship is going to turn: It moves left or right 60 degrees and then moves one hex. By using deceleration, can it move left or right 60 degrees and then not move one hex?
The Federation Commander Tactics Manual under Warp Tactical Maneuvers (page 18 ) implies that this can be done ....canceling ...

DISREGARD. I found the answer in the Federation Commander Tactics Manual: "...you just can't launch a drone at an incoming drone on the same impulse that the drone was launched against your ship." (FCTM, page 4.)

The question came up: Can the Base Station drone target a drone that was launched in the same Other ...

Big Adromedan Scenario?

I'm trying to find a scenario from SFB to convert to FC. IIRC, a Klingon B10 and Federation SDS engaged a nasty Andromendan. Can anyone direct me to the Captain's Log that had this story and the SFB scenario?
