This isn't very similar to FT2 (ie, Cinematic) movement except for
thrust-2 ships (or at low speeds - no higher than 4-5 or thereabouts
IIRC, but it was some years since I played Triplanetary), but apart from
the "face the direction you're moving" part it is a very good
approximation of the FTFB Vector movement rules.

It is probably possible to translate the Cinematic movement to a hexmap,
but I'm not sure I want to try :-/
