<grin>	I've had moments like that, but mostly with EPIC.  (Something
like
15 4+ dice rolls one time... and I got *two* hits! <sigh> )

Ironic?  No.  By design?  Yes. <grin>  We want to deprive Indy of the
chance for theatrics. ^_-

Not much, for the faster ships.  The big boats are a lot more
restricted,
though, which isn't all that bad a thing IMO.  Means you need a lot more
planning for those edge-of-the-board scrapes....  It would also put a
cap
on this "push in direction of main thrust" thread, since you have to
burn a
fair bit of maneuver to rotate. ^_^
