Um... why would you want to turn *12* clock facings? 6 should be enough
-
if you want to turn more than that, turn the other way instead...

Before the FB playtests, I experimented with a flat cost of 2 thrust
points per point course change. It worked, sort of... but it made those
thrust-2 ships completely impossible to maneuver (speed 3-4 was the
norm)
and thrust-4 ships merely very clumsy (speed 10, tops).

I didn't fight very hard to defend the limited course change in the
vector rules during the FB playtesting :-/
