Of course such things have been known to malfunction . . .
 from time to time.                 Oh dear.

Flying along and with no warning a shuddering CRUNCH reverberates throughout
the ship.  After picking themselves off the deck (assumming g-controls
haven't
failed the crew eventually arrives at the bridge to discovered they have mede
a high-velocity landing with a fair-sized piece of debris.  Could be an
interesting start to an adventure :)  Thanks for the idea!
