     I must jump in at this point and correct a spreading misconception.
Velosity=Speed= the number of inches that a ship can move during a turn.
Thrust= The ability to change speed/direction and the measure of
	how 'lively' a ship is.  

     Under the proposed rules speed/velosity does not alter the 
'to hit' value, thrust does this.

I know what you were saying, I just want to define the term for the 
people who may have become slightly confused.

Bye for now,
