  This is a good idea.	Those of you not recreating the Honor
Harrington universe might want to consider a similar idea that my
group has been using, with some success (I wonder if any real FT rules
are still buried under our system somewhere?) - the roll manouver.
For two thrust points, a ship can roll itself upside down so that its
port weapons now face starboard and vice versa.  This rule tends to
give somewhat more flexibility to smaller ships, which hopefully can
somehow make up for the fact that most of them don't ever manage to
get off a shot before they get piffled.  Well, actually, I guess
rolling won't help that problem but it means your flaming wreckage
sure will look cool spinning off into space....
